All help appreciated TIA You may need to bleed air out of the cooling system. There is a method buried somewhere in this forum. Or possibly the heater flap valve is faulty, again covered n the forum. Is your thermostat stuck open ?
Notabongo Posted November 17 Author Posted November 17 No real pressure in the coolant system can open rad cap after a run and no bubbling or excessively hot so don't know if thats another issue or connected
MonsterS Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Here's how I bleed the system, Put the front end of the vehicle facing uphill, run the engine so the temp gets up, (with rad cap off). then keep squeezing the top rad pip and run the internal heating on full blast (hot as you can) on intake not circular, and eventually the air lock will go. 1
Notabongo Posted November 18 Author Posted November 18 Tried that monster but without raising the front end
