Bleeding Coolant System

Post by bmouthboyo »

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question. When I last bled my coolant I used a funnel and tube and added some water directly to the bleed valve at the top of the radiator to speed up the process. Is there anything wrong with doing this?

No problem with that but seems a hassle.

I just found it is bit quicker to bleed. Maybe I need to brush up how I do it and itd be easier anyway.
