Airlock please help
I changed the antifreeze today everything was going good till I tried to bleed the system. I have been at it for 4 hours and still no luck. Can anyone give me any advice please.

How do you know it has an air lock -symptoms ?
Have you let it run till Temp rises & fan kick in to see if it gulps down coolant. |

Yeah mate engine right up to temp and the fan kicked in as normal. Header tank is not going down at all and the heater is blowing cold. When I take the bleed screw out the water shoots out of the hole. I don't want to drive it invade I do any damage. Cheers John |
With 2 people you could try with one person opening bleed valve to a steady stream and the other person filling coolant at a steady equal rate to see if that clears the lock.
How was the temp dial when fan kicked in, was it very high ? I've read of people letting engine come up to temp without coolant cap on to blow out the airlock BUT I think that could cause more harm than good & wouldn't try it myself. |
