urq blowing hot water (coolant)




My urquattro does not like its coolant (or just wants to cause
trouble...welcome to urq ownership!), because it keeps blowing it out
through the coolant resevoir cap after I shut the car off.  I typically
let the engine idle for a couple of minutes to let the turbo cool down
before shutting it off.  The after-run fan operates at low speed for a
few minutes after the car is shut off, so I assume the thermoswitch
operates correctly.  The system must be over-pressurized, but I
cannot determine how.  Any ideas/experiences?

Thanks,
Eric
