When was the aux belt and tensioner changed? If your tensioner hasn't been done in 36k then it might give you a tight and slack spot causing it to strain and then free up!

So today after blessing out excess coolant I got the water level to hold steady but it rises if you give it any throttle but crack the bleed screw off and air has got in and the level goes back to where it was?? The cap is still passing vapor out still so I'm guessing it shouldn't be doing...

Um that I have no idea I just did it up tight and thought that it was a relieve valve built in to the cap?

Yea I've bleed it through not long put a new engine in so it was new stuff too! :/ hoping it's not a cracked head :(

Yea I'm thinking it but even at low load or just idling it still boils the coolant with the tensioner held so it's on and the belts tight :/

So today's been a bad day! Was on route up the m5 to the national motorcycle museum doing about 95 ish :/ but all of a sudden the heater starts blowing cold air! I look at the temp gauge and it says the car is stone cold! So I slow down and pull up and as I pull up it cuts out and smoke pours...
