Hello all....
I've just done the coolant flange on the 1.8t engine and I'm unsure if the system is fully bled....
I've followed all guides I can find on here and various other website but my rad still isn't getting warm....I'll explain what Ive done so far..
Filled the expansion tank and raised it as high as I can with the lid off and engine running, I've then pulled the one hose almost off the heater inlet until water was shooting up out of the bleed hole. I've then undone the bleed screw on the metal coolant pipe ontop of the inlet manifiold and again water comes out....I've pumped the hoses etc etc and no more air comes out.
The engine warms up to 90 degrees and stays pretty solid the fan comes on and I'm getting plenty of heat in the cabin without revving it but like I said the rad isn't getting warm and I'm not getting any coolant returning to the expansion tank via the small return pipe....
Any ideas...I don't want to risk running it if theirs an airlock of some sort in the system.
Cheers
