Re: water boiling in radiator bottle 700 89

Since it split, your expansion tank must have been over-pressurized when the car was running. I am curious to know whether you noticed if it were also pressurized after you stopped. I recently noticed that my expansion tank is pressurized for a while after stopping. I don't recall this being the case previously, so I'm not sure if this is a recent development or not. I have a new thermostat and gasket which I'm replacing this week, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't be looking for something else.
