RRC 300 TDI retrofit cooling questions

(1/7) > >>

PoPrivit:
Has anyone fitted a 300 Tdi and if you have did you have any problems with air locks in the cooling system. I have tried to relocate the header tank but due to the height of the thermostat housing it is not possible to get the level of the header tank to be higher than the vent plug on the top of the engine. Is this the cause of my problems? only if it's under pressure it should not matter :(  any help welcome and any picks would be even better. Getting a bit fed up now of venting the system.

Cheers poprivit :)

PoPrivit:
Anyone  :idea:  :D

dazzawhipple:
you could try a hose pipe in it and try and flush it out :?

Run it and crack the pipes off to let the air out but if as you say the header is lower its going to be hard

how about trying to locate the header tank (temp bracket) above the thermostat housing
hopefully this will cure the air locks if all is ok then try lowering it
