406 Saloon Radiator bleed valve locations
Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2009 2:29 am
Hi All,
I've had to flush out my radiator and think after refilling it I've got an air blockage.
Over 15 minutes of idling the temp gauge was approaching 100 degrees Celsius. (Not red line, red line begins after 110)
It is a HOT day here (over 30 degrees), but I think I'll need to find the bleed valves. It going that high just doesn't seem right.
I know theres meant to be bleed valves on the engine block and also the temperature housing.
Can anyone give me a picture, I've tried to find them and can't for the life of me find anything that looks like what I'd call a bleed valve.
(Please remember last time I done this was on a Honda Civic which I knew pretty much inside out, So I don't know if the bleed valves on the peg 406 would even look the same)
Cheers and thanks for any replies,
Terry
