Hi guys
My radiator got replaced last week and all's been well. When I got home today, I opened the bonnet and it looked like someone pissed coolant all over my engine!!!!!!!!! Inch long split at the thermostat end of the top radiator hose! Mustve just happened as I drove up the driveway! Lucky
Gonna get a new hose tomorrow. Looks simple enough;take off clamps, old hose off, new hose on, clamps back on. Now, I was once told with my VP to take off the radiator cap as S.T.K.E said when the car is cold, fill to the top, start the car and wait till the thermostat lets go and sends it thru the engine, then fill with coolant till it hits the bottom of the radiator cap neck and stops bubbling then put the cap on. Will this work or should I use the bleeder valve as 'nick' said?
vhmarbleface, how did you go about replacing your hose?
Any help most welcome
P.S. I know this is probably VT Commodore kindergarten stuff, but the cowling on the top of the engine - its just those four bolts up top to take it off, am I right? Only had the car three weeks so I am still learning
