Aoa All,
My car XLi 2007 was running smoothly when it suddenly started noise, i checked & it was due to belt & bearing ,anyways i went to office & my brother took it to mechanic.
That mechanic changed bearing & also changed water body.Now i noticed 1 major change:
BEFORE:
Before when he car engine was in running state & if you open radiator cap or radiator plastic bottle cap( water does not come out) so no chance/risk of burning body,
actually my uncle advised me 30 years ago that even if car is too hot,never switch off your ignition,make your car running engine & then open radiator cap,it will never hurt you because due to engine start,water will be kept in motion so i always follow his advice
NOW:
after changing water body when engine was on(running), i opened radiator cap to inspect water level,water suddenly smashes from radiator & i hardly managed myself from being hurt.
i checked it 2-3 times now this is usual,if radiator is hot wether engine is running or not running, water always comnes upward & there is chances of burning/hurting
QUESTION:
Q1. is something wrong or it is ok to water to come out during engine start
Q2. what is the symbol of malfunctioning water body?(My car never reduces a single drop of water or neved had heating issue)
Q3.what to do now to prevent water from jumping/smashing out?
