Is it getting hot while running? Or pressurising and blowing fluid when you stop?
I've just recently gone through the whole scenario myself and it turned out to be a $15 expansion tank cap :roll:
I'd be replacing that first. C.P.C. Auto components (available from Autopro e.t.c.) part #572 135. :wink:

Wish we had a n FAQ.

When does it overheat?. I bet going slowly. If I am correct , buy a new viscous coupling.
If going fast you have zee biiig problem, either a head gasket or slipped sleeve.

Kitch,

Without wishing to quench your question this place has accumulated a shirt load of information over the last few years.

Overheating seems to be a problem lately for many reasons.

Well there is sort of...and it is called Common Threads.

As a Mod of that section I am happy to string together stuff relating to this issue but it seems that using the AULRO Search facility is a method that people should use first. Just because the FAQ is there doesn't mean that people will look there. :roll:

There have been about 8000 topics posted, 3000 of which have been on the technical forum.

So a simple search using "overheating" will reveal 84 topics. That narrows it down and a quick scan reveals much.

So for those who don't know:

People should do their research first and then ask all they like :wink: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
