745 exploding radiator syndrome

posted by  someone claiming to be Goran on  Sat Feb 14 01:26 CST 2004 [RELATED]

It's the white cap.

There are some interesting symptoms that you might find usable:

Before i started the engine, i filled it to "MAX" and let the cap off. As I started the engine it started to spew out coolant out of expansion tank until it finally quit and sucked in the rest of coolant from the tank. I topped it off to "MAX" and let it idle. I didn't see any bubbles coming from the expansion tank so i tought "OK, it's not the gasket then", put the cap back o and took a short drive. Bang, radiator cracked.

It might be the radiator too, as i bought it used. It's sounds little far-fetched as i flushed it before use.

Thanx for all help!

Regards,
Goran
