• Rover 45 - 2003 Rover 45 - Engine overheated, oil in coolant 11 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  A recovery truck came and the guy topped up the coolant and bled through using the pipe in front of the engine. He found the cap for the coolant also. He got the engine working again and we carried on the journey. I did 150 miles then checked coolant and topped up again.
• BMW E36 1998 316i - Coolant Flush 23 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  My thermostat is sticking open on the motorway and the engine temp is dropping on longer journeys so I'm looking at replacing it.

The coolant is foamy and a dark yellow colour, and has stayed that way once cooled down. There's a layer of foam with coolant liquid underneath in the expansion tank.
