over filled coolant :S

[Struggler]

i failed,

filling up the coolant on a Wreg punto (you cannot see the bottle, or the min max markers!!!!!!

assumed it had none in, put loads in and before long it was over flowing,

what will happen now if i run the engine???

 

[mattjk]

[Icarus]

If its a shed just leave it and it'll piss what it doesn't want out ;-)

Another option is to start the engine, and rev it gentley for a few mins, the water temp will rise and so will the level, it should dump the majority of it out that you dont need. Failing that get a tube and suck.

 

[mattjk]

i didnt mean with a tube i meant with a syringe, coolant is pretty nasty stuff lol

 

[trile]

shut up and suck :rofl:

 

[karlktm]

dip a rag in it and let it soak some of it up!

Nobody said swallow! lol

 

[ijaen]

So, based on all this, he has to suck and spit? lol

Or just take off one of the hoses, let a little out, then top up.

Not sure if the 1.2 has a bleed screw on the engine or rad that can just be undone.
