Gurgling header tank
Discussion
Hi
Ive a vehicle that is going fine- not over heating or using any coolant but every time I switch it off I can hear the coolant gurgling around.
Don't think its head gasket problem.
Theres no cap on rad, only on header tank and ive replaced that.
Where the hose goes into the top of the rad theres a bung/bleed screw- if I slacken it until the coolant flows out and then run engine up to temp after its cooled I can take bleed screw out and no sign of coolant until I slacken header cap and then coolant appears.
Should this be the case? and whats the cause?
Sorry for such a long post and thanks.
