HELP, Air lock in TV V6 cooling system.

[XR-Lane]

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question, Im fordman myself. But we do have a commodore aswell

It all started when servicing the Vt yesterday and I decided to replace the coolant aswell. So I drained the coolant and it only let me put back in 2 liters back in.

Now before you guys think it, I was not aware of the bleed screw until now, as it was under the darn plastic engine cover. Never had a problem with the falcon when replacing coolant lol.

So where I am at now is, the heater is on, the front is jacked up to allow for easier bleeding of the air and I have a coke bottle in the filler half full of water. The level has not dropped and this would normally indicate that its full. But I am not convinced that enough water is in the cooing system.

Should I drain the coolant and start from scratch?

Would with some experience with V6's help me understand the process of replacing coolant on a V6?

Cheers

Josh

remove the jack park on level ground , engine off coke bottle in rad full of water open bleed screw watch for air bubbles and water level dropping in coke bottle , close screw start engine warm up heater tap on hot check for bubbles in the coke bottle and water level , stop engine open bleed screw watch for more air bubbles from bled screw .
