Loads of fun with that one.

Oh I'll bet that was. Lived in Atlanta for about ten years and I know what that traffic can be like.

I think it's the cap, pretty sure of it anyway but I've been driving it for short trips once a day to shake it out and make sure it's going to not show any odd problems. The overflow tank looks new, as does the radiator.

Whomever had it prior to me put green antifreeze in it, so I'm going to pull that out after I'm sure there are no other physical cooling system issues besides the cap.

I've ordered filters for it, as it has a quick-lube oil sticker on the windshield. BMW filters are on the way, and oil is waiting on the shelf for it.

I've found the manual for the Eonon unit, it's a D5166Z and it appears that it has more features than I realized. I wish it interfaced with the cluster as it has the wrong date displayed which is a bit annoying.
