After fitting my Magnex on Saturday evening, I have noticed that when I start the car and it is idling, I put my foot on the accelerator and it is as if there is a tap of water running from the engine. Now, there is no indication under the bonnet of any leaking fluids, and the GF dad cant see anything wrong.

Any idea what it could be?

Sounds like an airlock in the cooling system bleed the coolant. Dont think the magnex would of caused it.

You'll of just noticed it since fitting the Magnex. Its an airlock dude, just get the system bled. But if it keeps happening and you have high pressure when you open the cap (from cold) then it could be the headgasket I'm afraid :/

Aye as said bleed the system!

My spaxo did this once and overheated lol.

Does the temp rise?
