Hi nij.

It might be best if you kept this on the original thread to give continuity
to the history of your problem.

From what I've read, you've got an engine temp going up to 100,
a possible over-pressurization of the cooling system,
an EML light, and water being forced out of the HBV valve.

Before I replaced the valve, I would want to investigate this a
little further if it was my car.

Not worked on a V6, but plenty here have, and they will no doubt give
you a few things to check out before fitting a new valve that may
get screwed up if you haven't fixed the original fault.
