General Bleeding the coolant system

[Tweedbean]

anyone got a quick guide to bleeding this as I have fitted a new radiator in the heater matrix and think there may be air in the pipes so wanted to bleed and start a fresh.

Tried searching but cant find anything decent.

Thanks

Eh?

I presume you've fitted the bleed tube to your new rad, so follow it to behind the headlamp.

The other one, if fitted is just prior to the heater matrix on the bulkhead.

hi I fitted a new radiator within the heater matrix not the main radiator, will have a go tonight.

Do I just unscrew them and let the water poor out?

Ah, I see, matrix.

Yup, undo then add water while watching for water to come out. Once all the air bubbles have stopped coming out, you have it full.

Cheers
