Yes you need to bleed the system. There is a hole in the coolant hose going into the heater core. Back of engine at the firewall . Loosen the clamp and slide the hose part way off the pipe. Add coolant to the system expansion tank until it flows out of the hole in the coolant hose . Slide hose back onto pipe and tighten the clamp. Close cap on expansion tank ,turn on heater controls , Start engine and run at 2000 RPM for about 3 min. Continue running engine at idle until the lower hose on the radiator becomes hot. Check coolant level in the expansion tank and add if necessary when system is cool. DO NOT open expansion tank cap while system is HOT.

You dont have to bleed the water it automatically takes out the air when it runs and the thermostat valve opens check the level again after a run of 5 miles or when the temp is in the middle

remember not to check when the engine is hot

Is the radiator blocked in my diesel audi 1.9tdi 1998

You NEED to go back to that shop and tell them to make it right-or call the state attorney generals office if they wont. They should never have told you to leave with a idiot light on after doing the work on your car!

Need to locate and replace thermostat for 97 pontiac grand am se with a 2.4L engine.

The thermostat is under the car on the backside of the engine. there will be a metal pipe attached to the lower radiator hose. Follow that pipe to the back of the car. It is bolted to the water pump housing. The thermostat is in between the water pump housing and the metal pipe.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

How do i change front brake hose on my 98 audi a4? where is it located?

Its located on the brake caliper and goes up to the brake line,To change just remove the high pressure fitting from both ends [very basic job]Fit the new pipe ,but now you have a new pipe but full of air!.To bleed out the new pipe just open the bleed screw [looks like a grease nipple on the top of the brake caliper]and connect a small piece of hose [must be a tight fit on the bleed screw]with the bleed screw loose and the hose fitted just fit the other end in to a container of brakefluid and press the brake slowly up and down till all the bubbles are gone{dont forget to top up your reservoir before you bleed it!!]as if the reservoir runs dry you will need a special bleeder to bleed the brakes [it requires 2 bar or 30 psi pressure to bleed out the system after the reservoir goes dry]

My a4 overheats really fast. While the radiator is cool

The problem may be air locked in the engine causing the thermostat not to open. You may need to bleed the water line some were near the termostat or if it doesn't have one you can run the car without the radiator cap on it for about 3 mins but make sure you are not running hot.then put the cap back on with the heater on blast when the air starts getting hot the termostat has open. If air dosen't get hot then try to do steps again ontil air is hot and temp is about normal. Hope this info helps

Heating doesnt work 2001 Audi 2.8l a4

Sounds like the water level is low. Often the water pipes are higher than the radiator and require bleeding when the car is running, see if there are any bleed screws on the hoses to release the air.

Change thermostat on gm 3400 v6

Drain coolant at the radiator drain. Remove air intake hose and MAF sensor assembly. remove throttle cable bracket and disconnect cable linkage. Remove throttle body bolts and disconnect coolant hoses to throttle body. Loosen heater hose pipe and remove heater hose from rear of pipe. Remove radiator hose from thermostat housing. Remove top thermostat housing bolt. Loosen and almost remove lower thermostat bolt. You will need to slide your wrench and hand under the exhaust crossover pipe to gain access. Loosen the bolt until you can remove the thermostat housing, it should be slotted to clear the bolt. Replace the thermostat and reassemble. Bleed cooling system using the two bleed screws (one on thermostat housing and the other on the passenger side of the engine where the heater hose pipe comes out above the water pump.
