What causes coolant to bubble in the radiator?

What to do about Bubbling coolant in expansion tank?
Drop the old coolant and replace with new and bleed the system from one point on the coolant pipe above the radiator, and an 8mm bolt next to the thermostat housing. The tank now doesn’t over heated and the fan kicks in when it should keeping the system cool. Hope this helps.

Why are there bubbles in the overflow tank?
Problem Bubbles. Though it is completely normal to find bubbles in the overflow tank while the engine is not overheating, bubbles in the coolant could be the sign of a leak at the head gasket. To test for a head gasket problem, check each cylinder of the vehicle with a cylinder leakage tester while the engine is off.
