i did the same thing with mine when i replaced a new radiator.

 

Directions unclear. Di** stuck in toaster.

On a serious note. Can we revise the instructions to be a little clearer. I almost melted down the car

 

I honestly don't know how to make them any clearer. If you are having trouble then you should seek professional help with the car.

And yes these directions are for a coolant flush as well.

 

The issue I was having. Was I didn't know that you where supposed to get the heat searing hot then bleed. And restart that every time till it stayed searing hot. Because if you read your diy. It's kinda so simple I almost missed that step. Luckily I just kept bleeding cause it didn't seem right.

 

You're not. I never said that.

 

Pro-tip for the well-heeled, or supremely risk-adverse--do your coolant fill with one of these guys:

Uses shop air to power a venturi-vaccum to pump down the coolant system, then you switch to coolant and it sucks the coolant into the system, giving it a perfect fill every time. I got one for a couple of Porsches that needed it, but have used it on every car ever since, including the S2000. It makes coolant filling just absurdly easy and totally mess free. The system is air-free before you even turn the key. It's really convenient.

The S2000 is a little fiddly--you have to use the smallest nozzle so you can get a good fit in the radiator neck, and clamp off the overflow line, but other than that, easy-peasy.

 

Billman,
I do recognize that you have a plethora of experience over myself. Please forgive my ignorance be that the cAse. I'm no amateur when it comes to cars. I can speak theory with the best of them as long as I'm educated on the matter.

But. While I understood the majority of your DIY. I had issues following yours. Maybe I was over simplifying it. Or not comprehending the instructions correctly.

 

I did some re-wording...give it another full read and let me know if it all sounds clear.

 

Thanks Bill for all your s2000 knowledge. Maybe get you to do a flush in April at Fontana tech day. You dat man sir.

 

Billman, that minute addition cleared it up for me significantly. I appreciate you taking time away from your normal work to make changes to your procedure. Keep up the good work.
