I did mine a week ago and now the temp gauge is steady at just a whisker above 1/4 mark. Edited 09/07/12 09:46 AM by 601Turbz

Unless the gasket is totally furked. You will need a little pump with testing fluid in a couple different chambers. You pump it over the open resiovouir at operating temperature and the liquid changes colour if exhaust gases are present.99% of mechanics will have these and shouldn't charge anything to test My bad should of explained better.

I remember when the car was new it was bright green and healthy looking.
