Anybody know the right way to bleed the cooling system on a 4x4 saf cossie? I fitted a new water pump today and bled it by running it up for about ten minutes, with the bleed screw undone, till water came out... Took it out for a drive and it now seems to be be running warm, (90-92 ish) didnt know if i might still have some air in it.
Sure i read on here once that you can do it cold, by squeezing the air/water out, holing your finger over the bleed hole?
Any other ideas guys?

Thanks

I do mine at the thermostat housing.

 

How do you do it?

 

Slacken the bleed screw till water comes out.

 

Cool, thats pretty much what i did... Thanks mate!

 

if you've done that, had it for a run and made sure your blowers will blow hot, let it cool down completely and just make sure that the coolant level is on the max mark (when cold) ive drpooed my coolant several times over the last few months for 1 reason and another (split hoses split gaskets, posour head etc) and ive never had a problem with air trapped in the system by doing what is mentioned above.
