Honda Civic Reborn 2007 Gasket Cooling System Splashing

So I bought a Honda Civic Reborn 2007 a while ago and the car had the following issues:

• Mileage was low
• Faulty O2 Sensor
• Faulty Thermostat
• Radiator

I replaced some of them and fixed the rest of the issues and Equipment. Now the problem I’m facing is that car does not heat and a lot of pressure gets built up in the radiator pipe which is connected to the Hose.

When we open up the Radiator Cap while the car is heated air bubbles start to come and in some cases water splashes out of the radiator. So I asked the mechanic and He told that there is 50% chance that it is Gasket Fault. The weird thing is I’m not facing any decrease in performance. The car still gains 100Kmh at 2000 RPM sometimes lower like 1800.

But when I try to shift gear there is a little jerk it is faint but I can sense it, It is there I know it.
If anyone knows the actual issue please help me solve it. Thanks in advance.

You are wrong here at you are not diagnosing your car properly. When the engine of the car is hot radiator pipes will be hard from the pressure that has been built up. If you try to open the radiator cap it will cause the water to boil.

Here is the correct method to check the coolant level!
• Let your car engine cool when it is cooled down the pipes will be soft.
• Now you have to check the expansion tank for level and also you have to check if cap level is correct.

You have to keep an eye on level of your expansion tank. If the tank is not decreasing and remains full then this will confirm that there is a vacuum problem.

You should change the belt tensioner while changing the belt tensioner make sure your mechanic has everything because when he is changing it bolt can break and it will require you to drill and reverse tap to remove it.
When the car is overfilled especially the automatic ones it is clearly not a good sign because this is the main reason that kills the transmission and yet many people don’t realize it. Just remember this Heat Kills the transmission of the car. If you have a budget then replace o r rebuild that transmission now o r in the future and also make sure you don’t make any reckless decision like you did now, when you bought that faulty car.
