Subject:      How to bleed the cooling system???
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

OOPS!!!
Hi all again... :)
I own 1 1982 1.6l TD Westy.
After repairing a leak in my cooling system, i still have bubles in the
system.
I hear the swishing sound of those bubles behind the dashboard when i use
the heather.
I tried to do like i saw a mechanic once:
I raise the front end of the van abou 18 inches, I open the cap of the
filling tank on the engine, tet run the engine at about 2000 rpm to get the
engine warm.
When the coolant gets hot and circulates, i alternatively open and close the
bleether valve on the radiator to let air out. If the level of the coolant
goes down, i add coolant. before shutting down the engine, i put back the
coolant cap.
I did this procedure twice but ther is always bubbles haunting my system...
Any suggestions?
