i got home today after about a half hour drive and noticed a rumbling sound coming from my car. Opened the hood and the enging coolant was boiling (only at the very bottom) and it was about 4 inches above th hot line. The temperature gauge, however was only at the half mark. I noticed the radiator cap was only closed 3/4 of the way and immediately tightened it. I have yet to drive th car just yet but do you think I might have fied the propblem with the cap?

- although i may have fixed the bubbling, i have noticed that the coolant is dirty and brown, so ill probably still need the coolant flushed any way right?
YES BECAUSE THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE PRESSUREIZED TO WORK.

PT CRUISER OBD shows the problem as PO243 Wastegate solenoid malfunction. Not sure where it is on the car and what it looks like so any assistance would be welcome. Is this something that can be replaced or repaired.Cannot go to a dealership as there are only 3 in the whole of France. Barnacle
