ok where to start.
Over the past very long while, I have noticed that the water and coolant in my radiator boils. I hear a large gurgling/boiling sound coming from the radiator, and if I put my finger on the radiator cap i get 3rd degree burns. I have had regular services done.
The car has overheated a lot of times. I wait for 20-30 + mins for it to cool down, I open the radiator cap and pour in concentrated coolant and some water. I had a thermostat put in a few months ago, didnt know it was missing, and it still overheats. I thought the thermostat was meant to release the cool water/coolant mix when the car got to a certain heat?
When I go to fill the radiator, my coolant bottle is always full, never changes. I open the cap (when its cooled down completely), turn the car on and turn the heater on full blast. I poor the water or coolant in and then all of a sudden it will bubble up and almost all of the stuff in the radiator will come pouring out of the radiator, it just bubbles up and splurts out all over the place. When it finally stops and i pour heaps and heaps of water back into and put the cap back in, a short drive has the stupid thing boiling again.
Sorry for the lack of description, if anymore details are needed ill be sure to throw them in.
Anyone got an idea as to what the hell is wrong with it?
