Hi,
I'm hoping for a bit of advice.
Recelty my 2.5i overheated and the engine died after a 30 min trip at 100km/h.
When I looked at the engine to find out why, it was obvious. The radiator had a massive crack. I suspect a rock hit it.
Anyway I drove it home after using some epoxy to seal the crack (yes stupid).
So today I changed the radiator and tried getting all of the air out of the system. However it seems that there is no end to the amount of bubbles.
Also the overflow tank fills quickly.
I'm guessing the overheating from having no coolant has damaged my head gasket.
I'm going to try swapping the thermostat back to stock (it was replaced when doing my DIY timing service).
But if that doesn't help I'm not sure what to do.
I'm tempted to attempt changing the head gasket myself.
The other option is to find another engine to swap in. Is it worth considering an H6?
I figure those would he the most cost effective options.
Any help would be appreciated.
