Hi was just wondering I'm trying to bleed my cooling system and not having much luck only able to get a few litres of coolant in it. From what I have been reading it seems there are meant to be two coolant bottles I only have one is this correct for a aaz engine if not could someone explain where the other one should go and what pipes go to it any help will be much appreciated
Many thanks

Re: Aaz cooling system
Header tank is fitted to the tray that holds the battery. The cap has an outlet on it, this has a smallish (6 or 8mm hose maybe) that goes to an expansion tank that is mounted just to the left of the rear number plate flap when you look at it from the rear.
If you open the flap, look to the left of inspection hole, and in the bottom right corner, just to the left of the left hand hinge, there will be two holes in the bodywork where it bolts on.

Read this, don't need to jack front end in the air like some will have you believe.

Re: Aaz cooling system
just the pipe from the coolant tank cap goes to the header tank behind the number plate.
looks to me like you don't need to change the flange on the cylinder head, just blank off the small pipe by sticking a suitably sized bolt in it and hold it in there with a hose clip.
