Default over heating 850R



is it my water pump or my head gasket?<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>


Ihave replaced the thermostat and the radiator. </P>


Still she over heats.<IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0"> She will stay at the norml temp for a while then as you drive her, she stays cool , and as i pulled her in the garage she would suddenly just shoot up to the red. the coolant starts to boil over in the bottle. I removed the little pipe that leads from the the thermostat to the the bottle, and started the engine and only steams is blown out of it.</P>


This all started after i replaced my radiator. Is there a special way to bleed the system, ofis it self bleeding.</P>


Please help<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">My volvo is standing still</P>
