Re: cooling problems

These cars are known to get air bubbles trapped in the upper engine anytime the cooling system is opened. The resultant air causes a vapor-lock type situation which blocks coolant flow. One of the most common symptoms is rapid steam build-up which will cause coolant to boil over into the overflow bottle. You need to use the coolant bleeder screw(s) to purge the air if you didn't do so.
