Can't seem to bleed radiator , help

[dangeestarlet]

Read a few guides of leaving the cap off but it doesn't seem to want to bleed , put a new thermostat in it today and it still won't do it, it's not smoking like if the head gasket is gone or nothing , thanks in advance

Rad cap off

Heaters on full and hot

Then leave to idle up until full operating temp

[dangeestarlet]

Done that it keeps spilling out of radiator

Squeeze both the bottom and top rad pipes at the same time too?

[dangeestarlet]

Yep they all seem warm aswell , doing my head in now I've had enough lol

Put the cap on start the car and go forward and back for a min see if it disloges any air bubbles make sure the car is cool before the cap is taken back off

[Jamie5414]

Yeah that seems like the next best thing to do, I had to go around the block and up a hill to dislodge a air bubble in a Peugeot 306 lol

Ash's glanza needed a quick run to bleed heater matrix

Can also hold the revs at about 2.5k or there abouts using the throttle cable, and squeeze hoses at the same time.

Just won't work and to top it off my heaters won't switch on! That's all there is with this car is problems grrrr

[Chris_GlanzaV98]

bleed it and do it again if you have more coolant mate, or better still catch the coolant and put it back in

[daniel_g]

Try leaving it overnight with the cap off and see if its easier tomorrow, some air might find its way out as the system settles.

In work if they wont bleed i always take them a quick run and 9/10 times it works.
