Hi
I own a UK Ariel Atom 3 supercharged from 2009 that was then upgraded with a full 3.5R kit at the factory.
I had to replace the chargecooler dedicated water pump as it was leaking and then purged the system but there was some coolant coming out of the overfill hose.
Then I replaced the cap and the problem stopped but I was wondering if people using the 3.5R on track usually top up the system often or if there is a specific air purge procedure.
I removed the screw on top of chargecooler radiator to let the air out when filling and then let the engine run a little at idle without cap and topped up a few times but sometimes I still have to add some coolant on the small tank.
Thanks
