#1: How do I bleed this - radiator Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 4:18 am ---- Alright people,
Was going to flush out the radiator today and fill her back up. Went to open the drain screw on the radiator and there isn't the "tap" :/
Was just going to take the bottom pipe off, but surely that's going to prevent me from bleeding it

#6: Re: How do I bleed this - radiator Author: sonicscrewdriver, Location: swanseaPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 5:13 am ---- you have to take off the bottom pipe......i had to repaire a hole in my rad friday, i thought someone nicked my tap untill i noticed it was a blank......when you refill it tho you gotta take of the dust cap on the hose going into the bulkhead to bleed it...
#7: Re: How do I bleed this - radiator Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 5:33 am ---- Yeah I think I read in a guide somewhere on here... it mentioned to loosen the bottom hose but not remove it as it can be a PITA to get back on apparently.
#8: Re: How do I bleed this - radiator Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon May 02, 2011 5:36 am ---- Strange that there is no drain plug. With the drain plug it's easy to keep it all tidy and controlled then draining it but without it the only option is to remove the hose and watch 5 litre of coolant spill everywhere. Keep the reservoir cap on and it will come out slower.
#9: Re: How do I bleed this - radiator Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 8:12 am ---- Yeah I've seen the guide, was just wondering if there was a "trick" to emptying it without getting a face full of coolant. I'm already covered in oil, brake fluid and diesel

Keep your mouth shut, make sure the coolant isnt to hot & have a free shower as it drains out
Try not to swallow any

It's probably never been changed so it will be rusty as hell
#12: Re: How do I bleed this - radiator Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 8:48 am ---- Mine doesnt have a plug either, could be non genuine maybe?
#13: Re: How do I bleed this - radiator Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 8:52 am ---- Possibly
Looks like its never been changed tho because all the bolts and nuts are mega rusty
