ok couple of questions , when the car is hot should the hose coming from the motor to the top of the radiator be pressurized ?? , this does not seem to be the case when my engine is hot and running. The hose is not collapsed or anything like that so there is no blockage. Oh the garage also did a hydro carbon test to make sure head gasket was not blown before going on and doing the cam belt water pump etc.
Another question is configuration of the caps. Should this cap here.

maybe i have the caps around the wrong way , i dunno this has me confused and nobody seems to know what. Last time i tried swapping the caps around and putting the cap with the spring on it on the radiator (that leads to the reservoir) the system became so pressurized it blew the hose from the motor to the radiator. (it was a new cap i put in there as well)
I just spent $1200 getting all this work done and i am still no where better off. Thing is the temp gauge still never rises above middle where it normally sits.
Anybody have any idea on where to go from here ??????.[/list]
Please excuse the rust looking color on the caps the pics were taken before i got all the work done and every thing is all nice and clean now.
Oh also after dumping the coolant it sucks it back into the radiator again , buggered if i know maybe this is how it all works , just can't remember it doing this before.
