Charade expansion tank boils

Forum: 

I have a 1994 Charade 1.3iEFI. When you start the car and leave it to run for 20-30mins it does not boil or overheat,when you take it for a short drive for 5-10 miles,the water in the radiator starts to boil into the expansion tank,the cap comes off the expansion tank,then you start to lose water through it ,when the car cools down,the water drains back to the radiator,less the water that has boiled out of the expansion tank. some times when you start the car it revs -erratically.
