Yeas bled it from their it has a new thermostat in but tested it today and guess what it doesn’t open so swapped it and so far everything seems fine

Thats something I need to check then since got it five year ago and after a few weeks of useing it the hg failed so put new hg on and it has been Parked up until last few month

Yeah that’s what my last head did gasket was stained is it possible to have a warped block

When took head off no water or oil was in cylinders they were dry

Just wanted to make sure it was ok and that wasn’t going to have issue with it

To the point where I check level in rad it nearly empty since it been pushing it out new head was pressure tested and an erling gasket was used and new head bolts too. Checked block where gasket sits couldn’t see any cracks

Yeah all pipes get hot same for radiator since put new one on aswell

Thanks for the reply but even to the point where you can’t squeeze the pipe and it dumps the water threw the expansion bottle and put water pump on just to make sure water was getting around engine since don’t know when it was changed last nt

my 300tdi system was pressurising so I decided to change the head a new one and while I was at it I put new water pump on it. So today when I took it out I stopped and decided to check to see if all were ok and guess what the system was pressurised and when I took the cap off it started to come...

right ok will do
