help please?

alrite, just fitted a new radiator pack (aircon and water), to my 1.4 03reg. i had a bump which took them both out:dapprove:. i havent put any coolant in it yet and was wondering what to do now.
do i need the aircon regasing before i run it? or is it safe to run with just coolant. and where is the bleeding point and is there just one? ive done a search and its not clear. any advice or help much appreciated. thanks

yes the aircon will need re-gassing.

For the coolant when I replaced mine fill it up then run the engine, squeze the coolant pipes to get any blocked air to rise to the bottle then top up, repeat until it stops filling with air.

Thats how I did mine but there's probably a better way.

Air Con Rad will only need regassed for the Air-Con 2 work. Don't use the Air-con till it's regassed! As for bleeding, there's probably a bleed screw somewhere. Fill up with coolant, run engine with blower on full heat and undo bleed screw! Tighten screw when all the air is gone!
