dangeestarlet Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Can also hold the revs at about 2.5k or there abouts using the throttle cable, and squeeze hoses at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 bleed it and do it again if you have more coolant mate, or better still catch the coolant and put it back in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
