Coolant Airlock?

[Manxman]

Just had new waterpump and timing belt replaced on my 2001 1.9 tdi and now the front heater blows cold and sometimes hot but the rear hear is constantly cold. What is the best method to purge any air from the cooling system? Would facing the car uphill with the header tank cap removed help? Are there any bleed screws on these systems?

Any help much appreciated.

Hi,

 

Not an answer but just restarting the thread as ive got an airlock in my coolant too (the bottom pipe on the rad is always cold) and i just cant seem to purge it.

 

Is there an easy way to bleed the coolant system as if there is i havent found it yet....massaged the bottom and top radiator pipes but seems to no avail...ive got about 3 litres in the system but the haynes manual says approx 9 litres so theres a lot of air in there somewhere!!

 

Any advice as always welcomed.

 

Thanks
