David P Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Could be a sticky thermostat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Under what conditions? After a run or just at idle before going anywhere? Let it cool then check if the hose is split or loose. If so then the system will lose pressure making it easier for the coolant to boil. Is the bottom of the rad stone cold or just cooler than the top?
