Post #1
Mate hit a fence post in his 206 at the weekend.We've had to replace the rad, AC rad and fans. I put it all back together last night, but haven't yet put any coolant in. Is it just a case of filling it up and setting off or do I have to bleed the cooling system. Any pointers would be appreciated as I've never changed coolant myself before. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

unless you've just topped it up you'll be needing to bleed itit's just a case of either flushing it through (i wouldn't bother) or just refilling it and bleeding from the bleed points ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

OK, so I'll fill it then bleed it.Does anyone know where the bleed points are? Is it just a case of open them all, fill the system until water comes out of them then shut them one by one? ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

Think its the same engine as my HDI yeah.The expansion tank is located at the back of the engine bay though so I assumed the cooling system is slightly different. Think I've got the jist of it though.  ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

What rikky says is true. Same bleed points as a gti6, start at the Heater Matrix, then work back to front of the car.Same as my xsara HDi also  ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

Thanks.From what I've found online there are four bleed screws, all on the heater matrix inlet pipe. I didn't see any bleed screws on the radiator either when I put it in. Don't think I'll need to make a header tank either, as the expansion tank is higher than all of the pipes at the back of the bay. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |
