Hi,
I had the engine over heat alarm come up for a moment and then went back to normal. Then when I got home and popped the hood, I noticed the upper hose was squeezed (pressure?? Block somewhere?).
I turned off the engine, let it cool and opened the radiator cap. It looked like it needed coolant. But it was brown. So I am thinking that there is no coolant in there only water. So I started the engine added a bit of water and was full quickly (Maybe 200ML). The upper radiator hose was back to the normal shape.
So I am wondering if I should disconnect the lower hose and flush the radiator?
Also is there a bleeder valve for the radiator?
I am really only familiar with the older VB Commodore cooling system.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Craig
