Running Hot

Is it boiling or bubbling you hear?
Do you hear a water fall type noise?
Is your low coolant or bird cage light coming on through hard corners?

If any of this doesn't sound foreighn to you.

You may just need to burp the beast and top it off.

Elevate the nose of the car as high as you can. Pull the rad cap off and watch for bubbles.

This process takes a while. Keep topping it off and keep watching for bubbles.

Crank the engine over a few times but don't start it. This will circulate the bubble inside the coolant system if you have one.

Eventually the bubbles will stop. Top it off 1 last time. And repeat every now and again.

That's if these are also your symptoms.

Hope this helps.
