markssupra Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hey mate that's much appreciate, shows the club spirit is alive and well However I will have another look today, and may end up getting a new rad anyway as mine is quite tired. My water temps at SRR were quite high during the mapping session so the upgrade was on the cars already Cheers james Nice of you Mark. Good man.

Chris Wilson Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 They self bleed, just put heater on full hot and top up with engine idling until up to full operating temp. I have never understood all this bleeding stuff, I have never, ever had to bleed a MKIV as such. 1990's MR2's are a different matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even get me started about MR2's.... took blooming ages to do my mates one... 12m odd of radiator hose with 3 bleed points or something silly.

Chris Wilson Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 My old Renault 5 turbo 2 was a sod to bleed as well, but it was such a lovely car to drive I forgave it everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymonkey Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hey all. Going to order a few misc screws from Mr. T today unrelated to this work, but is there anything little worth renewing, when changing the rad? Apart from the coolant of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
