Hi guys,
I have a te50 which Was handed down to me from family and I’m trying to diagnose the coolant boil issue. After 10-15mins idle the coolant bottle will started to boil crazy. What I’ve looked out for, Seems like it’s got a new water pump (someone tried to fix it before) I put a new thermostat and also tried with no thermostat No oil mix (in water or oil) When on idle at the start doesn’t seem to have air in the coolant system And one have any ideas before I start taking the motor out for major head damage? Thank you guys in advanced. |

Have you checked the recovery reservoir cap is holding pressure? See https://rxmechanic.com/symptoms-of-a-bad-radiator-cap/ and https://www.holtsauto.com/prestone/n...lant-bubbling/ etc

Use a TK Tester? I think you will find it’s got exhaust gases in the cooling system. Which says head gasket problem.

Radiator fans working?
If the water pump's turning, thermostat opening and fans running it should not boil at idle... |
