General Bleeding cooling system

kevin47 · Oct 15, 2009

Hi, having a bit of trouble bleeding my 1.4 bravo, topped up system after redoing head gasket. And opened both bleed screws to heater matrix, but nothing coming out. Radiator full to the max, just dosen't seem to be any fluid circulating. Any ideas please.
Thanks

Kevin

i had trouble once and ended up forcing the coolant around by blowing down the expansion tank till it shot out the bleed screws sounds funny but it worked for me. Make sure you got the heater blower on max at same time.

Did you open the 3rd bleed scew on the top left of the radiator? Dont forget to turn the cabin heater controls to maxumim.

Yes Thermostat is closed, heat the engine up to temperature for it to open and then circulate.
