AMP Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 I pretty sure you are suppose to fill the radiator all the way full and then blead the lines but i am having trouble getting the coolant to go down it has taken me 20 mins to put in less than half a gallon. Quote
AMP Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Posted December 31, 2011 well it does not overheat, it needs some more coolant and does not need blead so all is good it is back on the road once again. Quote

oz37k Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 AMP, I was having the same issue as you when filling my MC Z34. I found the tool below in the link following some recommendations here on the forum and man does it help and eases alot of the trouble. First fill the resorvier up to the COLD mark, then you have to open the bleed valves, set up the funnel following instructions and drop in some coolant, you will hear the air coming out thru the bleed valves, keep adding until you see coolant coming out of the bleeders then close them. Next turn on the car and turn on and let the T-stat open then turn on the heater and watch the coolant get sucked down. Keep adding coolant until it no longer gets sucked down, wait a few and it should level out. Block the funnel with the provided stopper and put on your cap. Let it idle until your fans turn on and then you should be ok. Let it cool down and add coolant thru the resorvier if needed to bring the level up watch it for the next few days. I would suggest to do this when engine is cold. You will be glad you used this tool when you are done. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lisle-Spill-Free-Coolant-Funnel-Plastic-Yellow-Kit-24610-/330666466481?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4cfd41dcb1 Quote

oz37k Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 thanks but I dont have the car no more trade strait across for a truck. No problem. But if you ever have to do some type of cooling system work I suggest you get this tool to avoid the headaches. Quote
