Ciaran 4 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 do u not just leave the top of the expansion tank thats what i did and it worked perfect. Try draining it again and pour the water in slowly Link to post Share on other sites
saichy 1 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 ye take the top of the tank make sure the water is at the MAX level, then start your car and leave it running for a while, the water will go everywhere tho so just watch it when its nearly empty top it up again to the max mark and it will proably empty again do this till both the big pipes that come off your rad are hot then you will know its done.hope that helps mate Link to post Share on other sites

ingham 5 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 if your aux water pump is working it should be easy. but.it may be thermostat is stuck shut ,a common problem.neuspeed low temp one is a good replacement Link to post Share on other sites
blackmagicvr 7 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 also make sure the heat setting on the heater controls are set to hot, so the water can run through the matrix. Link to post Share on other sites
