Title: rad cap spewing water when opened....
Post by: SFW on September 07, 2012, 09:19:18 PM
i have a single turbo set up with the AST deleted.

i went for a drive yesterday.... thought i would go for another today.
but before hand i checked the oil and water!

when i removed the water cap it threw out a small amount of water under pressure.

what would cause this?
and what would fix this?

Was the coolant hot or had you been running the car at all before you checked it?
