this is likely to be caused by an air block in the coolign system and must be dealt with imdietly, somewhere on one of the pipes there will be a screw that looks like a valve cap, you need to fill up your radiator with that open...start the car and when water starts pouring out that replace it and check the level of your radiator again.
there ya go  |

Hi I've got a 94 405 GTX 2.0, I've got the same problem cold air all the time, this valve cap you mention is it just below the air filter? I did unscrew it a little and water was coming out, any advice will be welcome.  |
