Best Way To Change Coolant?


Recommended Posts

O.k. guys `n’ girls looking for some advice, what is the best or easiest way to re-fill the coolant without leaving air in the system?

I usually just slowly fill the coolant through the header tank, once down I squeeze top and bottom radiator pipes to try and get rid of any air in the system. (Oh I don’t have a heater matrix, so don’t need to worry about putting the heating on hot to help get rid of the air, as I don’t know what hot is anymore – lol)

I have heard of people re-filling through the turbo water pipe, the one going from the header tank to the turbo??? Anyone got any experience with this method???

I did speak to RCM today as I was buying some goodies from them, and they said when they change coolant they remove a pipe that allows the air to escape, but they did not tell me where the pipe is? Anyone know this method at all???

Anyone else got any easy methods on how to get the air out of the system when re-filling the coolant?

Thanks in advance,

Alan.
