Breather plug

[jyothi]

Hi
Can anyone please tell me where the coolant breather plug?
Thanks

to bleed the system? on top of the thermostat housing under the engine cover,


easiest way to bleed the cooling system (and i do this at work) is to remove the breather screw,

grab a funnel and fill the system with coolant pushing the funnel into the cap seat so it dosnt leak, fill the funnel up so the coolant level is higher than bleeder,

wait for the fluid to come out of the bleeder, allow a bit to come out, replace the screw and tighten, then remove the funnel, start the car, top up the radiator if the level drops,

once the top hose starts to warm replace the cap, allow it to get to normal operating temp then just crack the bleed nipple to check for air (should be none to very litle if done properly that way)

How many litres for the radiator? 5 lts?

yeah 5lts of concentrate will do it, the whole system holds 10lts roughly, it needs to be mixed 50:50 coolant/water
