Coolant change: which hose do you burp?
« on: 09 August 2014, 10:39:15 »
Morgen comrades.

Had to drain coolant yesterday cos changing the coolant bridge washers was pishing out coolant so decided just to eliminate the problem and get rid of the coolant.

Now have to nip out to get antifreeze as I thought I had some... but no  ::)

Anyways, on most cars I'm used to dumping coolant in, temp to hi, fans off, running car at about 2k rpm for a few minutes (before it pours out) and job done.

With the Omega I note that I should ''burp'' the hoses. What one do I burp / massage? the top rad hose nearest the expansion tank?

Cheers ladies  :y

No drama, all done now.

Burped the rad hose and kept revs to 2k while the air came. no overheating and nice hot air through the vents   :y
