Atfer this about a couple of weeks later the water in expanision bottle tuned to oil.It seemed to get thicker and thicker had oil cooler changed and system flushed out a coulpe of times still traces of oil. Water bottle now keeps emptying its self of water after travelling 20 to 40 miles when stopped and engine is warm. A couple of seconds before this happens the water is bubbling hot so still no futher forward with the problem.

Having same problem with 2000 1.9 tdi ford galaxy started with temp light coming on and hand went up to over half way going uphill checked the water bottle and very low on water topped it up when we stopped an engine cooled. Happened the next day with light coming on had to top up with water again and temp hand went up to half way and down again. Two days after that I flushed the cooling system with cooling flush and retoped up with water but everyday before I start the car the water in the expansing bottle is below min when I go to take cap off the water goes up to above max. There is no water in the old or oil in the water bottle. Such anoying fault any help is greatfull
