General How to bleed the cooling system?

[Pandaki]

Hi there,
As it is getting colder it's the time to change the paraflu, so I did, emptied the system from the lower hose of the radiator then put everything back and topped up the coolant tank and started looking for the bleeding screws. And I found none! I followed all the circuit tube by tube but nothing. I started the engine and everything looks ok, all the tubes are getting hot (meaning that the coolant is flowing) the fan is going off at times and the heater is working fine, so only out of curiosity, is it possible that the cooling system needs no bleeding?

Oh and by the way, Happy Winter with our Pandas

It's self bleeding so to speak and as long as long as you keep the heating controls to hot shouldn't have a problem. I personally give the top & bottom hoses a good squeeze and leave the pressure cap off till it get's hot just to make sure.

It's more important to use a good coolant though than much else.

Hi Pandaki.
On the inner side of radiator, when you stay at the front of Panda, on the left upper side of radiator (engine side) you should see white drastic-plastic - bleedeing valve. It loooks as a some plastic clip or air-plug on some old sea-fun-inflatables. Turning this plastic valve you should be able to bleed extra air and finally coolant, which means that all air is out.
Rest as Alann says and regulary watct coolant level in expansion bottle.

Aca the bleeding valve you mention are on the 2wd's I believe, the 4x4's have no bleed valve on the radiator due to the header tank.

Could be Alan, just check if there exist part No.5 on attached pic1, or part No.2 on pic2

No Aca ther's no bleeding screw on the (4x4 at least). I did as Alan said before (squize the tubes with the tank cover open) and all looks ok.

As said by Alan. I got confussed a little when I done the change on my Sisley, but I love the set-up. Why they did do it on all Panda's. Would save so much hassle
