Hi guys,
I have a Mistubishi Magna Sedan; one month ago I changed the radiator thermal switch because the fan wasn't coming on. That was fixed ok. Later on though, (could be coincidental), the water from the reservoir started to not return into the rad. I have no idea why this is happening. Any ideas? Appreciate any comments -Tony

HI there, just pressure test the cooling system and check that is it holding pressure, the cap is what controls the pressure and the flow into and out of the surge tank.
