[QUOTE="JasonYew, post: 636394, member: 23758"] I faced the same problm last 2 months. The low coolant light pooped up and whn i observe, th bleer scew head gone, left only the threaded part. To make it worse, it happened on sunday when all sparpart shop were closed. So temporary countermeasure, i wrap the opening holes with few layers of plastic bag, and tie with lot of rubber band to stop water from leaking. Managed to drive back tohome safely before the pressure break the plastic bag. To remove the broken bled screw was pain in ass. Finally managed to remove it by heating a flat screw driver and make a deep groove on the brokn plastic bled screw. Got a new bleed screw for rm 10. Now keep extra scew in the drawer in case happened again. agree on the brass screw not suitable. The scew need to be the weaker part. Relace scew is cheaper than ex tank or radiator [/QUOTE]
