Pearsy47 1 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi basicly when i changed me pipes over to the green samcos, air got into the system, i have been looking on this site and nothing really has been said apart from it could be head gasket gone!! which i ve check its not that. People have said to run it from cold with the cap off , and let it warm up and squeeze the pipes which when i squeeze the pipes it seems to let the water out then suck air back in !! which ain t good !! so im asking what else can i do !!!

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 stick your blowers on... normally running on fast idle will pull the air through after a few minutes.is your radiator ok? not blocked? disconnect bottom hose, run water through it. Link to post Share on other sites

McPikie 3 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Car facing uphill (on on ramp). Header cap off, fill up. Squeeze pipes til no more going in. Then, fill 2l coke bottle with water (bottom cut off) and place into header tank. Hold in place. Gravity will force the water through where it wont run.Run car until fans come on. Don't they have bleed nipples anywhere?? Link to post Share on other sites
