How would the cap come off.Surely wouldn't blow off if it was on right..
More than likely I ain't tightened it properly..
Nevice noticed temp going up or that...

The header tank cap has a release system in it. IT happenend to C13RSA, rad never kicked in and the water temp got to got. Ended up being the coolent coming out of the cap. Almost like a kettle boiling.
But if it was that, u would have seen steam coming from the engine bay.
