Scoboblio Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Mornin' all! I'm looking to fit my shiny new top radiator pipe today, now I've done a quick search and found some interesting opinions when it comes to airlocks and bleeding the system afterwards. My questions; 1: If I simply remove the old pipe, catch the lost coolant in a bucket, put on the new pipe, and replace the coolent in the radiator, will the system need bleeding? 2: What's the easiest / most idiot proof / cheapest / laziest way of bleeding (if necessary). 3: Should I simply leave the whole thing until I get the coolant changed next week by someone competent? Thanks people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARDA Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 From what I understand option 1 is Ok. After you have done this run the car up to temp and check that you are getting hot air from the heater fans. Anything else? HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
