water overheating and escaping through overflow
« on: 18 October 2009, 10:12 »
morning all, think I've sorted the auto box problem with the help of the father in law, but now when the car has been idling on the driveway for 10 mins or so, the temperature gauge move the the middle, so indicate any overheating, however, water and steam starts to escape from the coolant filler bowl, any ideas??
