Urgent help needed!!!

[Paul73]

Hi all

I am doing the interior heater on our C4 grand space tourer 2.0 hdi. New Radiator is in and now need to bleed the system.

I'm struggling to work out how to access the bottom radiator hose to drain the coolant out?? Can anyone advise? Or is there somewhere else I need to drain it?

I am using a vacuum coolant tool to refill so I suppose the other question is does it actually need to be empty to use that?

Many thanks!

Did you pinch off the hoses to the interior heater?

Pinch off?

Heater lost about 1.5 litres when disconnected

Use this as a guide the operations are very similar - follow the relevant section for Euro 6 vehicles when it comes to de-gassing.

well, it took me about 5.5 hrs all in. The clips for the heater are a nightmare to reclose after fitting. Took ages to suss out getting the bottom rad hose off too. However, Draper vacuum tool for refill was fantastic and worked a treat. Car has warm air inside at last.

Its low on coolant (it was when I began) so need to nip to the dealer tomorrow for a top up
