Hey all, have a weird issue with my foz that I'm hoping you'll be able to help me with.
Engine is an EJ20G before we get started and the cooling system was chock full of rust when I bought the car (replaced all the hoses and flushed it thoroughly with citric acid).
The car has started to fill the coolant overflow bottle after driving, but the car isn't overheating.
Other symptoms are the top main radiator hose is compressing in on itself too after this has happened/when the car has cooled down, and when I undo the radiator cap it returns to its normal diameter.
Is this an issue with the radiator/radiator cap cap or is my thermostat ****ed?
