harry3 said:the other idea with funnel sounds clever, an alternative is a long length of hose that just fits inside the radiator cap hole, to get the filling height above the higher bleeder screw on the top of the intake manifold.
top radiator hose nipple at head, there is a 10mm bolt/phillipshead thats number one, number two on front of intake manifold/plenum at number one pipe/tunnel it a 10mm too, but do the lower one first, then fill coke bottle stick in radiator with 10mm open till water runs out put back in bolt while bottle still filling then tighten, take out top one to remove air pockets hotspots, and squeeze full two litre coke bottle till water comes out top one, keep squeezing while you put bolt back in, this way you have done both sides of a cold thermostat,ucwepn said:Hi all I have questions relating to the bleed valve on the head for the cooling system, Where is the bleed valve? ie- what number cylinder on the head? is it on the passenger side? and how does it come out or open?
Thanks all I wanna refill my radiator without cracking the head.
thats was already saidgungazza said:the proper way to do it ,is to fill radiator ,take off rubber hose that gos from the resevoir to the rad ,and tape it to the bonnet stand above moter hight 'put in a small funnel into hose , there are 2 bleed nuts ,thay should say 'do not open when hot',open the lower nut ,and pour water into funnell, when water starts to come out of bleed hole ,tighten it ,and then lossen the top nut , and pour in more water ,and then tighten when water comes out job done
if you dont do it properly you will blow your head gasket :drink: :drink: :b:
