Hey all!
I’ve got a really weird issue where I drive the car 30miles each way daily and I don’t get a problem. Soon as I drive to London from Swindon the car goes ¾ up to max temp when stationary. When moving again the temp goes back down. I've checked coolant etc and what I do notice is bubbling coolant in the expansion tank. I've now been monitoring it over a few weeks and from what I can see is the coolant is clearly evaporating somewhere in the system as I need to top it up. No white/black/blue smoke from the exhaust.
When I bought the car it had nothing but water in the cooling system so I flushed it and fill it with red coolant (I wasn't sure which one to use and had some of this left which i use on the skyline so thought if it's good enough for that, it's good enough for the 'R') and I've not had a single issue with it up until the other week where I topped it up.
Any help will be appreciated as I'm in the process of ordering a new rad cap and thermostat as I know Honda will give me the 'we don't stock these parts.......' line.
Cheers!
