james Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 the reason it wont come on isthe rad cap is off which means no pressure in the cooling system which means coolant is not hot enough to trigger the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb6loon Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 well just an update its bled right just took a dammed long time think i will have to do it again as theres only about 2 ltrs of antifreeze in and the rests water maybe mixed with another 1lr of antifreeze with water i know the water in the rads blueish in colour, had that car out for a few hrs last night and kept checking the levels and it all seems fine now, thanks for the help james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 i got a tip off civicturbo79, as there is no bleed nipple on these. when system is empty take rad hoses off and boil the water poor that into hoses and let sit for few mins to open stat. then when you fill up the coolant can pass through making bleeding the system much much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
