Whenever i leave the car after a drive, i check under the engine & the top rad hose is all sucked in. I undo rad cap & it goes back?

any ideas??

what's your fluid level like as you propably have an air lock somewhere.

cheers for reply

I have just had all coolant flushed & refilled with rad hib last month, but i had only just got car so didnt know if it was happing before, how do i get rid of air lock as that sounds like it started after my service??

well you just need to keep topping your coolent level up, run the car for a bit, let it cool down at top it up again. Keep doing this till it stays full. and avoid long journeys till it's sorted or you may overheat.

 

You'll also need some coolant in the overflow tank.

Many thanks

will do this but where is the overflow tank, i only can see a little rad cap??

Here it is, your's will have a yellow cap on it though. I have a chrome one on mine.

 

the expansion tank cap is the yellow one right in the corner near the bonnet prop hinge.

rad cap return valve could be stuck

He means you might need a new rad cap, get a 1.2kg/cm one, or nismo uprated!
