wagonist Forums Junkie Toymods Club Treasurer Location: Sydney Registered: May 2002	Re: Radiator & Coolant bottle queries Wed, 15 September 2004 06:26 The way a radiator system with overflow works is: - as the engine gets hot, the coolant expands a bit & starts to compress any air in the system (usually at the highest point in the loop (this is usually where the rad cap & overflow pipe are). With the height of your engine in the RAV, this should be the radiator. - the air, and then coolant get push out the spring on the cap, causing it to enter the overflow bottle (hopefully bleeding the last bit of air out of the system) - it gets to operating temp - as it cools down, the coolant in the system contracts again. This causes it to suck coolant out of the overflow bottle. Have you checks that your overflow bootle is the same size as the GT4 version? If its smaller, then it mightn't be able to cope with the amount of expanded fluid. Don't foget, its got to cope with the coolant being heated by the turbo bearings at several hundred degrees as well now!! But I'd def get the temp guage hooked up & see whats going on first.
