radiator cap that dosnt seem to like *releasing pressure* like its designed to do.


get a new radiator cap.

and does your radiator have an overflow outlet on the neck? not having one of those can cause it :P. cap rises up, and pressure dosnt go nowhere!

Im thinking youve got a blockage somewhere maybe- water pumps doing its job, but the waters being stopped somewhere causing a build up.

It's gotta be either a blockage, or the wrong cap. Are you sure you have the right cap?

cant be a blockage, if you replace ALL hoses, you'd be a moron not to do a flush while your at it...
