I'm presuming up until recently the car was running fine?
Bottom hose would be making me thing either water pump or faulty rad. I've had airlock problems on the XR2, took 4 cycles of fan coming in and out to clear an airlock. Personally I always run it without the cap on when I've refilled the coolant, I've been told not to overdo it but there's not many other ways of clearing locks. Might be worth a block tester kit as well if you're thinking the worst Andy _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Fairlie Sent: 22 October 2008 17:35 To: [email protected] Subject: [Quantum Owners] Zetec cooling problem I had a problem with my Zetec in the 2+2. It burst a radiator hose and over heated or might have been overeheated and bust a hose. Anyway, I refilled the cooling system and started the car. It ran albeit rough for two minutes and started to spray out of one of the hose connections. I tightened the hose and release the preasure cap. Water came shooting out. I refilled topped up the water and started the engine again. There was a misfire now and after a minute the bottom rad hose blew off. I obviously have excessive preasure in the cooling system and imediatetly thought head gasket gon. I've done a compression test and they are between 14 and 150 psi. Seams OK. Any other ideas?
