help me please
last saturday i took my94 wrx down to a car show,but i did'nt make it.i blew the top radiator hose.
anyway: i got the car towed back home and bodged the hose up with a spare piece i had in the shed. then i just topped both of the bottles up and then fired it up,and all seemed well. until tonight. as soon as i left my house i noticed the warning light on(the 1 above the seatbelt light) i just thought it was a faulty handbrake switch or a warndown pad. but when i got a bit further there was steam coming out the bonnet vents. so i turned it off and i saw green anti freeze over the engine,so i quickly drove home to find that the top of the radiator was cold. did i have a air lock? and what is the correct way to bleed the water system? i have searched the forums but i can't find nothing |

Hi Lee,
Hose on it's way. :) R. |
thak you mate

Best way to bleed air out is to;
1. Undo bottom hose and drain. 2. Put bottom hose back on (Important ;-)) 3. Fill up VERY SLOWLY with 40% Antifreeze mix and 60% deionised water and stop every litre or so to... 4. ...Squeeze both top and bottom hose a dozen times (gets air out). 5. Loop between step 3. and 4. until... 6. Full up to the brim. 7. Run engine with cap off for a couple of minutes and top up slowly... 8. When engine warm but not too hot, put cap back on. 9. Check for leaks. 10. Check level after cooled down. R. |
someone must know something.

Yep, see earlier post...

you maybe right mate.but it was ok until the the hose split the first time.because all i done was:
bodged the hose up. refilled with tap water. took it for a little drive. then way i went. did'nt did nothing else. so i reakon its something to do with me not bleeding the system? i maybe wrong tho |
