Re: Temperature query

So the air should come out without the hoses? it's just you will be able to see air coming out with the hoses?

Do you sell thermostats Peter? It's a rev2 so the smaller thermostat :thumleft:

Re: Temperature query

It's too tight to the top hose to get in and out in less than 5 minutes so it looks like a 3/8 thread so I might just swap it for a proper air vent. Working on central heating systems everyday being a plumber I don't understand what use the hoses are that you are meant to use to bleed the system. As...

Re: Temperature query

Thanks Peter i will try get down to the meet.

Have had a look at the radiator and there isn't a bleed point at the top it's just a screw in plug is this going to be a pain to bleed? Or will just bleeding from the vent behind the spare wheel be enough?

Re: Temperature query

Cheers Peter since I'm only in harrogate I think I will bring it down to you in a few weeks for you to give it a look over.

Re: Temperature query

Yeah i think I will just need to get some 8mm hose for the bleeding at the front all the hoses look in ok condition, I will replace the thermostat though and give it a good flush through.

Re: Temperature query

Thanks for the reply doesn't sound too bad. Both heater pipes in the frunk are about the same temperature and it only takes 5 mins to warm up from cold if that means anything? The water looks pretty rusty so it will need replacing I just dont want to replace it and then find I have to drain it again...

I haven't taken it above 4.5rpm but the temperature does dip abit then when you back off it goes back to just below halfway. I topped the coolant up last night and it needed abi...

Do rev2's have ABS?

Was ABS an option on the rev2 or standard? Have always thought it was optional but just read this;

Is it just the turbo's that got ABS standard?

Re: damn thats low millage

Could have been a collector but I know of a few cars where it isn't that simple. There was a 3dr cossie that went for 35 grand last week that had 2500 miles on it. The reason was the guy that owned it had a messy divorce and the car got stored for many years and then the guy died. Also know of an ex...
