Pretty yellow isn't it?... one word to say: merde

So... it looks like I need to buy another engine...

And icing on the cake: my third radiator is leaking too, I just can't believe it! There should be a problem with the pressure in my cooling circuit!

Before I start the test, I removed a bit of coolant from the expansion tank as it is required. But while I was performing the test, water came up, and up, and up in the expansion tank, and I had to remove more than 1 litre along the way, otherwise, coolant was going into the tester (and I had to redo the test more than 5 times before it goes well)!

So, perhaps I had too much coolant, not enough air in the expansion tank, so the pressure in the circuit is too high and the radiator tubes brake? I'm using a Stant pressure cap which is 20-25lbs. It does not sound to me like a pressure a radiator can't take, but perhaps the problem come from there too.

Well, now, I'm so fed up, I just want to set fire to the car, the garage, the engine, along with all the tools, my working cloths, and perhaps to myself too
