Default Coolant system
Hi , about 4 months ago i had my head gasgets done , ive noticed that the water in the expansion bottle bubbles after a small amount of boosting < not ragging it > . when i get home i pop the bonnet and check , its normally bubbling a bit , when the fans cut in it stops bubbling and sits still , is this normal ? the car does not get hot temp gauge never rises , it just squirts a bit out of top of bottle under boost i guess , its used a small amount of water since its been done , or am i being paranoid . thanks chris

when the systum warms up and pressurises water will feed in to the expansion bottle when it cools down it will draw back to the header tank. if its not over heating/looseing any water dont worry.

what i would like to know is .a. why does the water bubble in the bottle and .b. why does it blow out the top of the bottle ? I want to give the car more power but a bit caution in case its on its way out and just throwing money away .
