Another tip for coolant filling
1 Attachment(s)
I know there are loads of posts about filling coolant on scoobs, but thought I would share a method I used recently for "fill slowly and do not allow it to glug".
I used a glass bottle with a constant flow spirit pouring nozel fitted and filled from the edge of a funnel that was tipped over to one side slighty. It worked a treat, but sadly my overheating problems are bigger then just a coolant change.... And yes, it was a washed out wine bottle.. :D |
Thanks for the tip. What pipe is it that I am filling the coolant via? I know it is one attached to the header tank. Is it the pipe facing the windscreen which goes directly to turbo area? Thsnks |
Hi, no worries.
Yes it's the one at the back of header tank that goes to the turbo. I've used this method a few times now and it's worked perfectly every time. :thumb: |
So I just fill that pipe until header tank is full and the reattach? I presume the header tank does fill up via that pipe? As I start car to bleed system, I leave header tank cap off? Do I only tiop up any required coolant from the overflow tank as car is running and not the header tank? sorry for all questions- maybe you could run me through your process of easing coolant? Thanks! I think I know what I am doing but just want to be clear ! |
Have a search on here there is a post by alcazar that runs through the process step-by-step.. this was just a tip on filling it without glugging
|
Got it thanks! Last question- when topping up as car is running - do I do this via header tank or plasttic overflow bottle |
header tank I'd say, but make sure there is some coolant in the expansion tank also, to the line
|
Thank you very much |
