Testarossa Coolant reservoir overflow

What do mean by "nothing"? Do you mean "no coolant" or "no air". It will be one or the other or a combination of both until you get all the air out (at least on a 308 radiator tank valve.).

 

I would keep unscrewing the bleeder until coolant comes out, and/or remove it, to see if coolant is present in the tube and to see if the bleeder is plugged. It happens.

 

So has the problem been solved?

 

caution:
The thermostat housing's bleed screw has a slit cut thru the threads to allow the air an exit without the need to completely remove the screw. Simply backing off the screw 4 or 5 turns ought to be sufficient.

It is a far reach location & easy to drop. Once dropped, it needs to be found since it is in the area of the cam belts. I spent a good hour locating mine the first time - - **before** I figured out that it doesn't even need to be removed. Being brass you can't even enlist the help of a magnet.

if you get no fluid - then do as Spasso suggests - but use utmost care.

Very good sir! Glad to hear its sorted!!

I also had a faulty/worn cap that caused my coolant to overflow from the header tanks after a drive. A new cap sorted that out.
