#1: Radiator Bleed valve? Author: neilneil2000, Posted: Sun Jun 07, 2015 6:42 pm ---- I have drained and refilled the coolant in my 206 GTi but I am pretty sure there is still air in the system. The question is, how the hell do I get it out?
Lots of places I look on the web mention a bleed screw on the radiator but I can't find one for the life of me! I know there is one on the thermostat housing and another on the pipe leading to the heater matrix but they are running without air. This is really frustrating me now!
