    I haven't put any water through it as it's not going around so can't pour any water through if that makes sense, tried pouring the water into the top of radiator yesterday but this doesn't seem to have made any difference, there is nothing coming out the bottom of the radiator so am assuming the...

    update on my overheating audi, now bleeding the coolant system help needed

    How does this stop the system bleeding? When I turn the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the radiator nothing is coming out. I have a head gasket test I can do on the car but I don't think it can be done when the water isn't circulating.

The bottom hose going into bottom of the engine is stone cold and the pipe along inlet is burning hot and when u take small pipe off tank has a little flow the...

    someone please help overheating help!!!

    Because when you remove the return pipe nothing comes out of it except steam. If you leave the return pipe attached to the expansion tank them the water coils out over. Have tried that screw but can't seem to move it.

    someone please help overheating help!!!

    The hose going out of the radiator and into the engine is hot as is the return pipe. Not entirely sure about the radiator, the fan doesn't come on but wasn't sure if this was because the temperature gauge is always reading ninety.
