O.K. Hello every one I have been working on thisn car since july seriously. I have to say thank you for the suport I recived from you in the summer but I have been out for a while due to surgery and now the car I started driving and was done started heatting up. It was fine until I started driving after I drive for 30 minutes or more the car throws the water out of the rserve hose for the raidator, I changed radiator new one, coolant sensor, cap fpr reserver and I just changed a seal for the block that was leaking. I also purged it but it still heats up. The only thing I see next is where the cap goes on the reserve tank for the radiator is loose and moves with my hands about an inch. Witch leaves me with this solution that its sucking in air? Well I hope u can help. S.O.S

Have you replaced the thermostat and done a head check to test for a gasket problem?

The thermostat is about a year old from the dealers I bought it, and the gaskets I had them put in in july about, but how do I do a head check to see if there's a problem?
Thank you.

This is a chemical test, there is a device that sits in the neck of the radiator which has a liquid chemical in it that reacts with Co,
You suck up some of the coolant gasses and if the chemical changes colour you have a problem, just about every work shop should be able to do this test.
