Heya guys and girls,
I've bled the whole cooling system of my AUII XR6 multiple times today, and is extremely clean. Desperately needed it, as the color of the coolant was starting to go off. Only thing to do now is to bleed the system - but I was just wondering if there was a nipple or valve which can be done so? I can't see any with my naked eye... Thanks in advance! |

I could be completely wrong, but im sure I read that you need to hold 2000rpm with radiator cap off for a few minutes.

No need to bleed it , just park it nose up on the slightest rise and start it up. Once it reaches running temp and the thermostat opens it'll take in what's left in the reservoir then just top it up and go. I did my Fairlane 2 days ago after changing the radiator and reservoir, easy as. Air will always find it's way to the highest point, all you need to do is make sure the top of the radiator is higher than the back of the block. The air will bleed to the radiator then back to the reservoir via the top return hose on the drivers side of the radiator.

Falcons have self bleeding cooling systems. Dont forget to also put your heater on hot while its idling away for around 10 minutes (bleeds the heater box).
cheers, Maka
