I am working on a friends cherokee with him and we are having a coolant issue. shocking i know.
We have burped it a few times in various ways including putting a tee in the line to the heater box with a cap and leaving that off and squeezing hoses to push any bubbles. We have also left the coolant bottle open and a few other things. It is a new coolant bottle btw.
The jeep runs fine but after a few minutes we notice the coolant bottle becoming fuller and fuller until its under enough pressure that it starts to leak out. This seems to be occuring when the bottle becomes almost completely nearly full. We have checked for flow from the engine head to the heater box and coolant bottle, and it seems to be functioning just fine.
I dont understand why the bottle just gets fuller and fuller without draining out or whatever it is suppose to do. We have googled a fair bit and cannot seem to find anyone experiencing exactly this issue.
So we are coming to you guys to try and figure it out. We have attached a picture below of where we put the tee in the system to try and burp the air out. At this point does it sound like we have a collasped hose? We are running out of things to check and I would love any advice you guys could offer.
