#47: Re: Air , hissing noise coming from coolant tank Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun May 15, 2011 2:58 pm ---- Cartoonhead the other screw i think is at bottom mid near radiator on and by thermastat its not in exact place as urs is it because mines a 2000 i actaully havent got bleed screw in same place heater matrix yeah but other is different place .Or i only have one bleed screw ? looks like one at end of thermastat mid in middle of radiator not right habd side like in your pic .
I just tries that still cant see level atall and its a bright good torch , this coolant bottles are s**t why they make it so hard meant to be easy checking coolant level . there's gotta be a easy way surely and the joke is if you fill it so you can see it thats a fair bit over max .
Would it hurt it much being bit over the max level ?
And its 50/50 water, coolant rite ?
#48: Re: Air , hissing noise coming from coolant tank Author: bigtony85, Location: NottinghamPosted: Sun May 15, 2011 3:04 pm ---- it should just spew any excess coolant out
yeh most coolants 50/50
#49: Re: Air , hissing noise coming from coolant tank Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun May 15, 2011 3:05 pm ---- ok thanks
so should be fine to put bit more in over max ? ,
so i can at least see it better than none in there suppose because its the only way i can see if there's any in there .
#50: Re: Air , hissing noise coming from coolant tank Author: bigtony85, Location: NottinghamPosted: Sun May 15, 2011 3:09 pm ---- yeh wont kill it if there's too much in it it should spew it out of an overflow and get its own level.
#51: Re: Air , hissing noise coming from coolant tank Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun May 15, 2011 3:09 pm ---- ok cheers

#54: Re: Air , hissing noise coming from coolant tank Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon May 16, 2011 5:39 am ---- ok , i ordered one last nite cause there only bout £6 .
Hate the way you just cant see in the damn coolant tank it must be the most stupid thing about the 206 lol .

The system isn't self bleeding, that's why it has bleed screws fitted.

because new one feels so much more tight and better can feel the 15 psi if you get what i mean before was just a bit tight .
