Re: exp/ tank
i would expect the coolant to get warm in the expansion tank but not hot because that comes out of the cool side of the rad, fully warmed up temp on my k3 is 72c - 100c
when you say bubbling is that from heat or just the coolant been forced in to the tank ? |

Re: Coolant expansion tank bubbling.
Radiator cap is not sealing correctly.
