chris H Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 from cold take your rad cap off, turn your heater to the hottest setting, start the engine and top up the rad, let it warm up with the rad cap off and that should expell any air in the system mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I changed the coolant at the weekend and it seemed a touch warmer. Just not sure if the thermostat is duff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daz gt turbz Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 what does the engine temp do when its running? does it get warm or always stay cold? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Most probably the heater matrix is fucked, unfortunately your dash has to come out to get to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Take both pipes off in the engine bay put the air line in and the rag packed around it and fire away The rag just gives it more pressure as all the air is then forced forward and doesnt come backwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janus Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 what does the engine temp do when its running? does it get warm or always stay cold?It gets warmm gradually but sometimes goes down.
