Running Water!

[Yates]

sometimes wen i start my engine up i hear water running thru the engine, ive never noticed it before and think its a bit strange for it to be happenin, then if i turn my wheel either way you can hear it running from side to side, but it only happens wen i start it up, wen im drivin theres no water sound when the wheel turns. is this a problem or does it always happen and ive never realised?!

Right, There Are 3 Need To Be Done In Sequence Starting With The Lowest.

Open All Bleeding Points Up Until A Steady Supply Of Water Emerges without Bubbles.


Bleed Points Are:

1. Top Right Of The Radiator(Small Plastic Clip)
2. Top Of Thermostast Housing (5mm Allen Key, Just Right Of The Rocker Cover)
3. Drivers Side Of Engine, Looks Like A valve cap.

Make Sure To Use A PROPPER Header Tank On Top Of The Expansion Tank To Prevent Air Locks!

If You Use A Upturned Bottle Cut In Half... There Is A 50/50 Chance Of Working.. Tho In Experiance... Its Alot Easier To Use A Propper Header Tank!

(You Use A Header Tank Due To The Top Radiator Hose Being Higher Then Then Expansion Tank)

Also When Doing This Fill The Header Tank Up Half Way smileys/happy.gif The After The Steady Supply Of Water Emerges From Each Bleed Point Allow The Fan To Kick In 3 Times smileys/happy.gif
