Pressurisation.
How hard would a hose get if the cooling system was pressurisin due to hgf on a 1.8 turbo k series?

Do you mean after switching the engine off or whilst it is running?
When the HG went on my ZT 1.8t, the top radiator hose was rock hard when the engine was running. When removing the header cap the following morning, there would be a big swoooosh indicating air in the system. Such was the pressure that coolant was being forced out from the coolant hoses attached to the turbo. All was resolved by Lates! |

So I wouldn't be able to squeeze them at all? With the new hoses on the hoses just seem harder after a run thats all and I'm just panicking now cos the level seems to be dropping quite quickly now. It's silly i know and it's obviously the air coming out of the cooling system but try as I might I can't get that through my to my brain.
