[QUOTE="DE07GT, post: 13242305, member: 97949"] I keep having problems with the thermostat not opening and I'm not sure what the cause is. Thermostat acted normal for 9 months and then decided to randomly stay closed one time. Went through the burp procedure again and it was fine for 7 more months before it did it again. After this, it did it again 2 weeks later. I've burped it every single time to the point that the system was void of air pockets. At this point, it will do it randomly and often so I can't drive the car anymore. Every time it happens, it is only the first time the thermostat should open after startup. If the thermostat opens or is open at this point, it won't have a problem as long as the car is running. If it overheats instead, the side of the thermostat housing toward the radiator is stone cold while the other side is hot. I have an aluminum reservoir with a traditional style cap and overflow. When it overheats, coolant is lost through the overflow. Tried another cap and ended up with the same result. Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
