[QUOTE="Faiz, post: 116177, member: 57"] Ok, tried bleeding the rad yesterday morning. First time,so not very sure whether did it right. The car had overheated to almost red mark on two occasions in prolonged heavy traffic (turned off aircon & lowered windows to temp. solve problem), so decided to drive it to the mech. He pressure tested the system and bottom of rad wet and leak at pipe to heater. Finally: Heater bypassed, radiator serviced and cap and right hose changed. After a 10 min test drive, the fan clutch was changed (fan could be stopped with hand with engine running!?) as was the resistor at the aux fan. Must be an unlucky day...after all that, the $%#@ 'check coolant level' came on and the sensor was changed! Just drove home, read some Da Vinci Code and went to bed. Everything seemed fine today but will check again tomorrow... :unsure: Rgds all, Faiz [/QUOTE]
