having trouble with my jimny
recently changed radiator is there any way of bleeding the systym as bottom and top rad hose does not get warm/hot
but heaters blow hot and does not over heat thanks
Make sure that the heater is on hot.
Fill it slowly and keep squeezing both radiator hoses vigorously.
When no more will go in the rad cap, make sure that the expansion tank has enough in it and the pipe from the expansion tank is covered by coolant and is fitted to the rad.
Put the rad cap on and start her up. Or him if your Jimny is a boy.
Vigorously squeeze the rad pipes and keep doing so.
Before it gets too hot, take the rad cap off and top it up.
Repeat till it starts to get hot or it won't take any more.
Keep an eye on the expansion tank level over the next few days of driving and top up the expansion tank as necessary.
Use good coolant and a high concentration of it. It stops rust building up in the system as well as cools the car.
