#1: bleed time Author: greenpug2222, Location: bradfordPosted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:28 pm ---- hi,
can some one tell me the best way to fill and bleed the coolant in my 1.4lx.
The only bleed nipple i can see is on the heater blower hose. Are there anymore i need to know about?
Cheers
Joe

#3: Re: bleed time Author: millerman, Location: KentPosted: Tue Jan 17, 2012 12:19 pm ---- Seabook, just to confirm as i will need to bleed our 1.4 when i change the stat, the one atop the rad is a round metal one with a hex cutout yes? The one next to the stat looks like it needs an allen key and may be made of metal yes? The one on the heater hose near bulk head is a plastic screw out jobbie, do these tend to snap off? In what order are thay bled?

I never bothered when I done mine last month.
Changed stat, top up cooling system, run engine till cooling fan cuts in then out again, switch it off, let engine fully cool & then top it up to the correct level.
Never had to use the bleed screws yet on a 206 & ive never had a problem with air being trapped in the system.

no idea about the order, i start from the radiator, themostat and then bulk head.
it took me less than 30 sec to bleed them all so why not? never snap on mine as they should be tighten by hand

They normally bleed themselves, very rare you need to use the bleed screws.
