is it pressurizing within minutes of starting the car??
if not, then this is normal...within reason.
its important that the coolant system has pressure in it.
one, but no the only, reason is it raises the boiling point of the coolant...thus allowing the engine to run at 80-100 without it boiling itself.
so you should feel pressure in the rad hoses after a journey and you should NOT take the rad cap off!!...this pressure till its cooled with blow hot coolant all over you!!
something my previous arrogant ass of a boss forgot about!! fail
