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 The After The Steady Supply Of Water Emerges From Each Bleed Point Allow The Fan To Kick In 3 Times
