i got a westcoast 1.4i and every time i start the car it struggles to stay running n usual cuts out, then when im driving in all gears it doesnt seem to pick up power and the other day i read on here about the cooling system n i bleeded the coolings system and it was fine and now every time i want to drive i have to keep doing that, what can i do ?
thanks

could be a dodgy cooling system :/ radiator damaged ?? clogged pipes ?? if bleeding the cooling system gets it working then it must be a problem round that area :/

Flush the cooling through with a hose.

You could have a hole, causing air to get in and cause air locks.

You could have some gunk stuck in a waterway, flush it out and check for holes :fcuk:

sometimes a bit of swarf and crap will get in to sytem after skimming flush it out well and try again i reckon itll be sound after that if not take it back to where you had it done and tell em whats happened they might help you out
