I'm at loss. My 05 Arc (auto) is periodically pressurizing the expansion tank. Last time the coolant went thru the cap- I was driving with moderate boost for 15 min. Just did a block test- fluid didn't change a color, so my guess is that headgasket is ok? Will retest tomorrow again. Removed valve cover today and checked for loose headbolts to no avail. Fans are working. Last month I replaced water pump (Airtex), OEM thermostat, temp sensor, radiator, all coolant hoses and installed Mckay hoses set. The car didn't have any of these sympthoms before. As a matter of fact, radiator was partially blocked. I've done few water pumps and thermostats on my Saabs over the years but it's possible I did something wrong. Maybe water pump is not pumping good enough? How do I check if flow is good?
Thank you,
Vik
