renault megane radiator filled up to normal level,( rad has been bled for AIR ) I then run the engine up to normal temp, the engine coolant gos down (not expands up ) but does not empty expansion bottle. I then let it cool down for safety to add more coolant, but on releasing the cap no pressure can be heard but the fluid level rises back up the bottle
any thoughts why
no oil contamination in coolant water, or any mayo on oil filler cap
