Just fill it up until the water reaches to the highest rads.
With the system running, try venting out the vacuum on
the rads starting from the lowest to the highest until
the warm water will be felt from each rad. Just send your e-mail comments and God bless you.

Fill system with water and turn car on, while car is running open drain plug and continue to keep radiator full while draining it at the same time turn on your heater with heat on high and blower on high When water is clear flush system and wait for engine to cool down. Refill with antifreeze and turn engine on, check for leaks and to see if you have heat. If still no heat change heat core.Let me know how you make out.

After flushing the tank and bowl both refil properly. After about 20 minutes the water in the bowl has decreased about 1-2 inches. The tank is still full. Not sure what the cause and/or fix is

Vent pipe may need cleaning out, vent stops up your system has to get air to work so it will take it from where it can get it and the toilet maybe the easied place.
You may have a vent pipe that may be partly blocked or clogged up. To check a vent pipe out you can have someone fill a sink or tub up to the flood level rim and plug the drain. Have them remove the stopper and watch the toliet you have had issues wit to see any water movement. Once you deteemine which one is the cause you can snake the vent pipe or run a water hose down the vent and turn it on to flush out the vent pipe.

Hope this will help you out.

1999 buick century..my temperature guage sometime goes in the red and then back 2 normal...once it does that it takes my car awhile 2 heat up

Hello! Replace the thermostat, it is defective...I would suggest flushing the cooling system with the heat set to high...Your engine requires Dex-Cool anti-freeze...It, due to electrolysis, has a tendency to "clump" blocking proper flow...Drain the cooling system...Fill with plain water...Allow engine to heat up and when the thermostat opens shut down and drain...Do this three times or until water is clear...Replace thermostat and refill with Dex-Cool...Allow all air to escape before installing cap...

Open vent central heating

yes it is possible toupgrade the system to a sealed one using a system boiler as you mentioned. the thing to bear in mind is to upgrade the radiator valves to pressure rated ones 10bar.
The probable cause of the over heating is down to the system being sludged up/cold feed blocked, or possible pump circulating problem?
I would recommend the installation of a magna clean filter to help keep the new boiler clear from system debris.I would definately power flush the system, if the system is a twin two port valve system then a automatic bypass should be fitted, all of this done by a corgi registered gas engineer

My oil fired central heating system has stopped heating up stairs.The rads and pipes have been flushed out,when the system was refilled the upstairs rads heated ok untill the system was switched off for...

Since you have done a good job bleeding the system, I will suggest that the impeller on the pump is bad. Many times these will simply deteriorate in the volute causing the symptoms that you describe.

This looks like it is in the wrong forum. Try reposting this in the heating section of the FixYa web site to get more responses.

Fair price to fix central air conditioner leak & refill with freon

I have heard that there is a spray you can use that will not damage your system and seals the leak when it comes in contact with oxygen
