R56 Overflowing Coolant Tanks
#1
Overflowing Coolant Tanks
I have a Mini Cooper S 2011.
If I start the engine and let it sit idle it slowly heats up and at around 200 degrees the overflow tank start to fill up from the top until it starts coming out of the cap.
I am not sure if this is a thermostat issue or something else.
I just replaced the coolant pipe from the thermostat to the water pump as well as the water pump.
Thanks for any possible input.
