Expansion bottle cap removed: is that the coolant reservoir bottle? I had it shut.
Heating to the cabin: Setting in hot but the fan was shut.
I let it warm until the radiator fan whiched on.

Needs to be open.
You have to squeeze the top pipe and see for possible bubles in the reservoir.
Let the bleed points open for quite a while and careful you don't burn yourself.

Its vital to have a good correct amount of coolant/antifreeze in the car as water alone will not cut the muuusttaard...say i.
#19: Re: Running hot Author: Sotirios, Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 4:22 pm ---- Hi all, it's me again.
I did everything mentioned above.
Some air (bubbles) came out from the allen bleed point. Nothing from the rear one (I managed to lose the tap, which I successfully replaced with a tap from my bicycle!).
But, apart from a slight improvement, the problem is still there.
I am able to keep the coolant temperature between 90 and 100 using the cabin heater on maximoum setting.
Any other ideas?

It could be thermostat stuck closed, still clogged collant system/radiator or loose waterpump fins..
Sounds like it would need to be looked-at at this stage if you are still not happy with the engine temps.

No air came from the back bleeding point. I did manage to lose the cap, which successfully replaced by one from my bike!
There has only been a slight improvement but the problem is still there.
I can keep the coolant's temperature between 90 and 100+ most of the times by setting the cabin's temperature to max hot.
Any ideas?
