<< Mike if there isn't any combustion gasses in the coolant then where is the pressure coming from? Have you checked for a stuck thermostat? >> Hey Volks, If this person has an automatic transmission....it could be a pinhole leak in the ATF heat exchanger causing this.... if he has the long-life orange coolant, you might not even see a color change. A check of the overflow tank would reveal some film on the insides of the tank....just a thought. Scott De Santi 86 Vanagon 2WD |
