Silky Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 New to these cars/engines, have just replaced a rad hose for a mate. However, when filling up the system with water/coolant I couldn't find the bleed valves.....whereabouts are they ? I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk6cabby Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Start the engine, leave the expansion cap off.. Turn the heaters on full ( hot ) Let it come to temprature ( needle between the 'R' and 'M' of Normal ) If you have any air trapped in the system, the heat of the water will make the air rise to the top and out of the open expansion chamber.. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 as above only turn the blowers in the car off but leave the heat on hot as it will warm up faster this way and then just basicly run it until the cooling fan cuts in then turn of let the level settle top up if needed job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
