I have a low pressure turbo v70 that had to have a new head gasket installed at 155,000 miles/things were good again until about 164,000 miles when the expansion tank started to purge again.I studied the situation quite a bit and decided to remove both horns and relocate them into the engine bay/then I spent a fair amount of time picking lots of little pebbles out of the radiator fins/with a piece of wire/ on the unit in front of the intercooler.I did get a new radiator with the head job but I felt that the air flow to the radiator itself was pretty restricted/as there is the intercooler in front of it and one for the a/c in front of that..At this time 166,000 the cars seems to be cooling better,no more purging and I also sprayed a lot of orange degreaser into the front a/c radiator and that seemed to free up a lot of crud as well.Hope this info might help someone with this same problem.Al
