is there a special way to bleed the system im putting water in after 10 mins the water is coming back over expansion bottle any advice please
I have never had a problem,same engine,make sure the small hose from the rad to the header tank is not blocked so it will bleed air out of the system. Squeezing the top hoses helps as well. Just read that you have put a new rad on, does it have a baffle fitted? Check by removing rad, turn it upside bown.Put a marble in one hose outlet and see if it rolls down to the other outlet. If it does then you have no baffle and you won't get circulation.2.5 desel
Head gasket failure or cracked head.had possible head gasket failure tried that steel seal put water in expansion bottle seems fine but the air bubbles apear and bottle starts to overfow temp stays cold but if i put cap on soon creeps up to hot
Could he smell the exhaust gases in the expansion tank?
My Dad has that.....Not if he has Anosmia.

Elegant way of putting it.....So has my missus, grandson says she is nose deaf.
Well lucky you. Bet you blame the dog anyway.then I must have 90% Anosmia . . . . I can't even smell the dog's farts !!
Head gaskets very rarely go on these. If you are getting bubbles in the header tank it is not a good omen. Do you know anyone with a static tester? That would tell you more or less straight away if you have exhaust gas getting into the coolant which would be gasket. If you have system properly filled and can run engine from cold up to temp with cap off then all of a sudden it spews coolant head is cracked.
