Technical Cooling system problem

[Mike1alike]

@Sabbas, to bleed the systen right, you can do it on level ground too. You'll just need to release the expansion tank and lift it above the breather level then fill up with coolant until it comes out through breather hole. And remember, do it on hot engine, with thermostat open.

There definitely is air in. Bleeding was not done right.

Have you got an expansion tank higher than the radiator or a tank that is part of radiator on the side? This is important

Hi Mike,
Thank you for guiding me back to that photo.
It is possible that bleed 1 tube for radiator core is blocked or not bleed properly , or maybe not connected if wrong/badly made radiator fitted . Possible even if tube connected to radiator the plastic stub of radiator not drilled through to coolant.

Best wishes
Jack

No, it's not blocked, it's fine. You can read back if you want to, it was mentioned. The bleeding was just not done right.

I have tried to keep up with this thread but can't remember if it was actually confirmed good flow of coolant was confirmed coming out of radiator bleed point. Op not the best at responding . This thread is now 6 pages!

This system should be easy to bleed compared to tank on side of rad type.

It really should be. But it has the bleeding screws on extension hoses and heater matrix one is still higher than the tank. Will need to take the screws holding the tank off and raise the tank and then it’s easy.
