Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

      Well, the heat under the hood is expected. It's also not uncommon to have coolant gurgling in the coolant tank. Unless your gauge indicates an overheating condition, or the motor doesn't feel right, you should be OK.

      My car is the exact same way as you describe, and I just drove 1500 miles without a problem.

          no, boiling coolant is not normal.

          the first thing i would do is check and see if the cooling fans work. later.

              It's not "boiling coolant." It is simply the coolant bypassing the radiator cap into the overflow tank. It makes a gurgling sound.

                do you have a proper 50/50 coolant and water mix? would you have anything blocking air flow through the radiator, like love bugs? ever changed your thermostat? later.

                      if you read the 1st post, then you read his words ''overflow tank is boiling over '', not gurgling. however, it maybe gurgling and he just described it as boiling, which is not normal. i do know of this gurgling/tricking noise you speak of and i agree, it's normal to an extent. later.

                        First look at all the coolant hoses and squeeze each one when the car is off to see if theres any rips or holes. ( use a glove )

                        Then the thermostat.

                        If not, sorry i tried.

                          I had the same thing with my car, and it wasnt "girgling" it was a rapid boil then it spilled all over the ground. turned out all the cores in the radiator were clogged.. in fact the two valves on the intake and the small hoses were were all completely clogged, i mean rock hard solid clogged.. i went through and changed every sensor, every valve, every hose, thermostat, new radiator, and flushed it out 52 times over a period of a month untill i got every piece of "white rock" pieces (looked like crack) out of the car.. the only thing i havent changed yet is the waterpump which is next.. ive got it to the point where it only gets a little hot after i get off the freeway, but as soon as i hit the gas and rav up the motor a couple of times it goes right back down which leads me to beleive the wp is caked up with this crap.. i got the car as a trade, which for me was a sweet deal (he got a bug body) which i had like 150.00 into.. i swear this car was jinxed.. my water problem never seemed to end.. oh well i hope this helps someone
