Coolant doesn't boil at 100 because it's boiling point is higher than water? plus it's in a airtight system? also not sure how my antifreeze can evaporate when locked into an airtight system, but hey. I don't have all the answers since I'm asking for advice
yup mate did his and was easy job, coolant does not actually stop boiling its an antifreeze and lubricant/rust inhibitor.
the presure lowers the boiling point of the coolant, same as a pressure cooker thats why if u have a hot engine and you take the cap off it boils out
