Snapped Coolant Bleeding Bolt

[luk3matth3ws]

Stupidly snapped the small allen bolt on top of the thermostat housing :wall: Anyone know here i can get another one? Tried all local motor factors and citroen say they need a part number?

i did the same, so just used another bolt the same thread size. remove the bolt entirely, wait for coolant to flow out the hole then screw the bolt in. works fine :y:

ah ok thanks, thought it had to have the holes in it, will have to have a look and see what i've got laying around thanks :y:

i also broke mine and just used the same bolt minus the little waher had just enough to get it back in a few threads never leaked since

nope, if coolant pours out of the hole then its still bled. its just slightly more fiddly getting the bolt in with coolant coming out
