weetec Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 heres some physics.....get a big empty coke bottle.....half fill with water....from cold remove rad cap and start engine and wait till water begins to boil/bubble....quickly turn coke bottle upside down and join with rad water fill hole and hold...if theres any air trapped in the system it will be replaced with water and the air will escape and rise to the top....ie in to the bottle...helps bleed water system...hope this helps.

brad123 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 get your rad flow tested. Put stat in saucepan in boiling water, look to see if opens. Any bubbles in rad while engine idling. May be rubber seal around pump. And yeah loop coolant hoses together.F ING cars. I know how you feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceMan Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 yes there was bubbles when idling. forgot to say the rad was stone cold too. Only heat was right at the very top where coolant water appeared to be getting heat from the top pipe from engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
