Re: Header tank overflowing

Well when ever the car is at temp all the hoses that should be warm are warm so never really thought it would be a water pump issue. Rad is also warm all the way up and down it no cooler spots. Going to try and get a garage to do a pressure test and try and rule out the head gasket.

Re: Header tank overflowing

The car only seems to blow water out when its sitting still for a period of time running, as when i take it down the motorway at 70-80mph the top of the header tank is clear of any traces of fluid. Does anyone know if it was the head gasket would it blow water out regardless of car moving or not?
