There's oil in the coolant reservoir, that shouldn't be there after a head removal. Will have a talk to the workshop tomorrow, but might wait with too aggressive complaints until I receive the invoice...
Will, the trip to Italy isnt going as planed. Yesterday there was a strange sound from the engine. This morning I added 1,5 liter coolant. After 250 km on our way ud the motorway in the mountains the engine temp went up. After cooldown I could add another 1,5 liter coolant. The car is now towed to the nearest Hy dealer and we are at a campsite somewhere in Austria. .:-(

For the low cost of a new radiator cap it's worth a try
Is the thermo fan working? Travelling the mountains, is that at low speeds , lower gears, higher RPM? Is it running cooler at say highway speeds?
Pressure test system, if that test passed check for exhaust fumes in coolant bottle(hy service should have fume tester).If that's ok.Check thermostat, water pump(small overflow hole onder pulley), hoses, clamps, bottle cap, egr cooler, small and big radiator for leakage.Increase pressure test bar/psi for 0.5-1bar on the bottle. Check with hot engine not cold.Check and inspect radiator for sludge if 2 coolants mixed (red and green).Check radiator visually.Check rad fan for operation, check ac fan operation.If all that tests passed and are ok. You are safe to go.Let's say 1.5 working hours with coolant flushing and changing.My guess is something with head gasket assembly as you recently removed it..
Aw c'mon, Dazz.You laughed too.
