Cooling system operating pressure
According to RAVE, the "Expansion tank cap relief valve - system operating pressure" should be 1.4 bar or 20 psi.
I recently got my cooling system pressure test done and the mechanic said it "held 14 psi" and he found no leaks. Does this seem correct? Should he had tested it to 20 PSI?
'01 with 57.5K miles...I guess I'm looking for an excuse to do a head gasket job...I figure it is about time. But I'm not loosing coolant and it has never over-heated.
