High Pressure Coolant - andyyy - 11-02-2014

My 205 has real high pressure coolant soo high that the other day the coolant started coming out of the overfill on the header tank after running for about 5 minutes I then took the cap over the header tank thinking only a bit of steam would come out and a half meter high column of water come out !

So now Im bleeding it in hope thats what it needs

If not im going to do the head gasket this weekend

When im bleeding it iv used a upturned 2l coke bottle and its been running for about half a hour now - well enough time to be bled - but still loads of bubbles are coming through which leads me to think headgasket

The weird think is on all over cars iv had theres been mayo in the oil or oil in the water when the HG goes but in this there both fine :S

Any Ideas??

Btw its got a 306 1.9TD 199? engine in it
