Consantly boiling up..this so

Consantly boiling up..this sounds like it might be a head gasket problem...look in the radiator and see if you have any oil in there...is the coolant clean or a brown milky colour Unknw

OVERHEATING

hiya, thks for the reply, water is clear as when it goes in. seems to build up pressure and discharges out of a 'valve' at base of rad. wen i pull over after even a short run. the system bubbles for agood time sfter stopping the engine. do u no if head gaskets r a prob with these models? cheers, humph.

OVERHEATING

I have a simlar problem with my charade 1.3 s reg. the engine light came on and it was very low on oil and coolant, filled it up but it continues overheating and boiling the coolant. have checked this morning and oil and coolant is low again, is this because of the heat or a leak. Why does this continue to happen?

I have the same problem here. I have a daihatsu charade CS. And after a few kilometers run, the engine heats up badly.. Does anyone here have any idea? I always run out of coolant also...
