Replacing coolant pipes

Post by Hoss »

Hi all,

I have just discovered a water leak. one of the pipes that run from the expansion tank to the front had dropped onto the drive shaft which in turn had worn the pipe down. I have a length of pipe to just replace a small section but am wondering if there are any hints and tips (like how to bleed the system) that I need to be aware of when refilling the system?

Cheers,
H
