Coolant change

[Sarah-182]

Hi there,

Does anyone on here know the official/proper way of bleeding up the coolant system on a 182, I have been searching on here for about 2 hour and found no less than a dozen different ways to do this, I want to know the correct way of doing this, no "old wives tales", opinions or "my mate does it this way" i'm really confused with all the different procedures.

Thanx.

Open up the bleed screw on the side of the thermostat housing until coolant comes out.

thank you, and when coolant comes out of there that means the whole system is airlock free??

 

[Mr R.]

Should be although i did this on mine and after going for a drive the level had dropped a little.
