Ok so my p5 with 181k s*** a thermostat over the weekend. I changed it and now it runs a normal temp but the over flow is still boiling over. K know that the thermostat is working since the temp gauge stays normal but the radiator is still boiling over after sitting with the a/c on for a while. Maybe fan relay or radiator cap? Any suggestions?
 
My overflow tank overflows, end up
Draining coolant outta my system like crazy. Don't get why it happens either. I'd say try radiator cap first tho.
 
i have same problem.. first noticed it when the radiator acutually blew up, 4inch crack in top. tried multiple things to patch it but it kept blowing it off... i was told its prolly head gasket leaking Co2 into water jacket, so i changed head gasket and now temp shows fine always but water boils out when running at stop.
