In cool or moderate British weather I have found the pressure unremarkable in a properly working 900 series cooling system. You should be able to squeeze the large radiator hoses by at least 1/3.

Thoughts about what might cause higher pressure:
  • HG failure. Maybe only a very small leak.
  • Turbo leaking into cooling system or overheating coolant if water-cooled.
  • Faulty or incorrect pressure cap.
  • Faulty or incorrect thermostat.
  • Incorrect coolant/water mix.
You could try a lower pressure cap (e.g. black) but this isn’t a great solution if you’ve got a genuine fault somewhere.
