    Bleeding Coolant?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    just did my timing belt...(it was a lot easier than i thought, maybe a 3/10, if you can change your own oil and have basic mechanical knowledge you can do this) anyways how do you exactly bleed the coolant, i just squeeze the lower radiator hose(driver side) a couple of times and got a lot of air out that way. but on the diy timing belt it says "After the reservoir is relatively full you can take an Allen head and unscrew the little bolt on the metal coolant hardline that lies on top of the intake manifold" but i can't find this hardline.
    TIA

    Re: Bleeding Coolant?

    if im not mistaken it should be relatively close to your intake runners...been a while since ive bled the coolant. But i think it is a torx but on a black hard line right neear the intake manifold. Hope that helps

    There is a line that travels above the intake manifold on the right side of the engine. There is either an allen head or 12pt/flat head bolt on that black hard line. Hold coolant reservoir in the air to get the coolant to flow out of that bleeder valve when open. Close quickly cause it will pour out fast. Have some towels ready.
