General How do i fill and bleed the cooling system on a FIAT BRAVA 1.4 SX R reg

Hello,

I need to know how to fill and bleed the cooling system on my Brava.

Ive heard that there are 2 maybe 3 bleed valves, ive found 1 which is on the radiator but i dont know where the others are.

Please help!

Start the engine and leave it idleing untill the fan comes on so you know the thermostat has oppened.

Once the fan has coime on leave the engine running and look at theradiator on the engine side, you will find a plastic screw. Slowely open the screw but do not remove it and leave it till you get a constant tricle of fluid.

Then look at the pipes coming from the radiator going along the side of the engine going into the car, you will find another screw. Again with the engine running repeat the process with the screw as you did on the radiator.

The coolant coming out of the bleed screws will be boiling hot.... be carefull...!
One other thing: de plastic bleed screws will break very easily when hot, I wouldn't touch them...!!
