simpo Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 How did you bleed it with the rad cap off? Make sure you have enough antifreeze in it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weetec Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 heres what i do... fill it up, and the plastic bottle too.... run engine till its up to temp...then switch it off....on cooling down it will siphen fluid from the plastic bottle... let engine cool down with bonnet open 5-10 minsyou can even see he fluid siphened back in to the rad.. get a marker pen and mark the level then later check it out.repeat as necessary... when the internal heaters blow hot air you have know you no longer have an air lock. hope this helps..
