Sooooo.. my radiator cracked, and I replaced it last night. Reached in to release the pressure as I was trying to bleed the system, and the valve(?) busted. Not sure if its called a pressure release vavle, heater hose connector, heater hose connector valve,or rear coolant bleeder port. But it busted,therefore I had to go look for something to directly connect the hoses aka ghetto rig it, because it was already 11pm and had work at 4am. I as able to find a brass hose connector that fit, then tried to bleed the system again through the radiator, Ran the car and turned the heater and ac on, after 5ish minutes or so, the coolant started to gush out from the radiator like crazy.

I've already ordered the part that I need, but is there any other way I can bleed my system? I also tried doing it with the funnel, no luck. Water temp stays above half.
I don't know what else to do help!

ps: I'm new to being hands on with my car.

 

u bleed it through the bleeder screw. idk about doing it on the radiator i dont think that would work

 

Yeah.. I was in the process of doing that, and as soon as I twisted the valve, the whole piece just busted on me. So I directly connected the hoses, & dried bleeding through the radiator and it didn't work too well ���� problem fixed already though, thanks!

 

Ask Frankie.

 

So basicly what you need to do is raise the front of your car as high as possible and squueze ALL of the hoses to try to get the air out. Once you do that leave your radiator cap off and start your car let it run for a few minutes. Put your cap on lower the front of the car over fill your over flow. Drive it around for a little bit wait for it to cool take off the cap and fill it back up. You will have to do that a few times but thats the easiest way to bleed it.

 

Fill the radiator back up.

 

That's exactly what I did that same day. Thanks though!!
