Well, I'm a bit stumped this morning because yesterday I did 150 miles after topping up from cold to the max line. This morning there is no residual pressure and after replacing the cap and running for 20 seconds before repeating the removal of cap, there is no pressure build up.
There is also no coolant loss and its still on the max level Ill get the new cap today and see if this works, the mayo was a minute amount but why was it there is the worry |

Mayo in the coolant could be a breach of the oil cooler seals or on an automatic, it could also be a breach in the ATF cooling section of the radiator causing cross contamination.

Aye, lots of fun ahead I think.......The ATF cooler just sits on the back of the rad and isn't integral, maybe there is a heat transfer elsewhere that I am yet to learn about. Ive not looked for the oil cooler as yet. Bizarrely,, yesterday it did clunk into drive a couple of times for the first time but I'm putting this down to needing an ATF change as I tow with it. I do hope I'm not heading into a period of chasing faults around a cosseted low mileage minter.

Just to tidy this up, the coolant loss is over, it just needed topping up a few times and seemed to settle after i ran it with the heating on for 10 minutes. Ive just done 1000 miles with the caravan without loosing coolant so im pretty happy that its not a problem.
I did fit a new pressure cap from the stealer so this may or may not have been an influence. Al |

Just to echo others, about a year ago my coolant kept dropping down near the Min marker after long motorway drives. I eventually replaced the reservoir cap with a new genuine Volvo part, and I've never had the problem since.
