Title: Water Dumping
Post by: Yoshi on May 18, 2007, 20:07:15: Well yet again today the rangie dumped its water, it seems to do it 80 miles into a journey. I dont know where it is doing it, or why, but for some reason maz seems to think its something to do with that top hose that doesnt seem to be taking any water in. Seems to heat up first, then just dump the water. But it doesnt over heat, there is no water in the oil, no white froth in the oil or the cap.

But i dont know why its doing it, its getting annoying!

Is the rad cap on properly?
Let us know how it's going.
