Hi Everybody out there,

I finally received my new water pump today.
I already installed it, but the test drive wasn't successful. After a few 
minutes of 
driving the water temperature reached the red zone.I let the car cool down and 
then 
opened the expansion tank. It was under high presssure and emptied the water 
over the 
engine.Fortunately a friend towed me back home.
What did I do wrong ?

- Coolant was in the expansion tank before I started the engine
- Belts are OK (water pump must work)

Could it be the themostat ?

Please give advice.
