Hi new to joining but read and thanks for all the help with your posts!
I have a Calais l67 1998 just over 200000 k and changed water pump both tensioner s and the pipe running through the drive belt Tensioner with t
He washer in it had come of on my test drive after bleeding and filling the coolant. It still has air in it and I have used the method of a funnel and washer tightly kept around the radiation opening and added coolant cold then turned the car and heater on and added more and it didn't work first go. i also had it on a hill facing up. The over flow I filled but it only seemed to suck up when it was turned of. I put the cap on and off an it again and waited for it to suck up a bit which it did. Thnext day I added more cold and then turned it on and heater and ac on and revving it to 2500 and added more and I'm pretty close to the 12 litres.
When I test drove it the pipe blew of half way about 5 minutes and over heated. I pushed it back on and it seems ok I was wondering if it's air pressure which pushed it off and also I hadn't clamped it to the clamp as when pulling it apart I actually though that the join was supposed to stay together on the pipe and ended up cutting of the clamp on the pipe ( it not really a clamp more of a metal joining part) which is attached with a small bolt. Is there a fix for this or do I need to? I didn't worry to much as when I attached the heater hose to it it seemed strong and very firm. I don't no what to do and am not sure if tonight I should try one more bleed or if this pipe will disconnect. At times the hoses get solid and it doesn't leak so I believe ther is no leakes and I replaced the heater tap and hoses only a few moths ago.
Any advice would be great I'm in Adelaide at the moment and on a disability pension at the moment and as my break up I'm pretty broke and my car is all I have even accomodation I'm couch surfing.
I'll send pictures if you need cheers everyone ps sorry I accidentally put this in the YT thread and unsure how to delete
