Hello guys...
Im replacing the radiator...have just drained out the coolant and ready to refill it.
According to the manual,there are two air bleeders, one is located near the intake manifold, the other one is located near the fire wall, but i can only find the one near the intake manifold, but cant find the other one, i have searched all over the engine bay but still no luck, mine is a 01 ap1, UK model, is there any difference with regard to the location of the bleeder?

No bleeder???

Many thanks!!

 

the rear air bleeder for the coolant is in the following pic. its the black nipple looking thing right above the oil cap (in the picture).

i couldn't see the nipple in your pic. it actually looks like in your pic that the coolant line has been changed from a metal pipe to a rubber pipe. what is that yellow sticker?

 

hi
thanks for reply..
Im not so sure about the rubber pipe or coolant air bleeder, i bought it as is...is it ok to bleed the air without that bleeder??
thanks

 

don't bother with the rear air bleeder it is useless. I've drained my system twice now and bled it successfully each time using just the bleeder bolt on the manifold. I never could get fluid to come out of that rear bleeder for some reason.

 

Hello thanks for reply!Is it ok as long as the coolant drain out from the front air bleeder near the intake manifold?
thanks

 

yeah that's how I've done it twice now on my s2k and it has bled perfectly only using the one bleeder bolt. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get coolant to flow out of the rear bleeder tube so I stopped using it when bleeding and it hasn't affected anything.

 

Your heater core is on the opposite side of the car compared to usdm. The hard line on the firewall does not exist on your car. The beeding of air from the heat system would be different.
