No not panting it will do a little tidy up at some point not into shiny engine bays tbh Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
Having a few problems getting air out of cooling system I ve got the back end on ramps front end on the floor Do I need more Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
Take off the hose that is coming out of the top of the engine. And back fill it from there first. Then re attach and fill the coolant bottle slowly. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
Done that and got quite a bit more coolent in it I am doing the pop bottle trick and at revs getting lots of bubbles but only doing it for a short time as my temp gauge is going into the red but fans not comeing on (but they work when you join the two green connections) how likely is it a duff gauge or something wrong with my fans it was a cheap gauge of amazon Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
How's your coolant bottle plumbed in? Gauge could be faulty. But not sure, what does it look like? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
@pkrboo I've got the top hose from expansion tank going to to I t piece from the Heater And bottom of expansion to a t piece off the top hose of engine Ps sorted the battery light problem It was the bulb was a led swapped for a original and bulb goes out Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
Getting plenty of air comeing though But temp gauge is makeing me nervous still no fans either Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
Changed the gauge still get 100 deg c and no fans the pipe comeing from rad is still cold Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
You've still got a big air lock, back fill the rad from the thermostat side too Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
1 fan should come on at 96degrees, check the earth connection to the fans Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
If I join the green connector to put it in diagnostic mode the fans come on one at time Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
Although I havent got FI ( the kit is still in a box in the garage ) , I fitted a fuel return to the metal elbow in the fuel filler.
Ah OK they should be OK then, don't worry too much about the temp for now, if there is air around the temp sender it will read high too. Use your infra red thermometer to keep an eye on it. You can also stick some ayer on top of the engine in the webs and if taht starts to boil you know you're too hot!! Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
Is it worth looking at thermostat yet or wait until I've got a warm return pipe Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
However you plumbed it, you cannot have a coolant loop going up and then down again without a way for air to come out of the top, as otherwise there can be a bubble of air trapped. Thats why the plumbing to an expansion tank should all run uphill, as it does when installed in a car, and there is a path for air bubbles to come out by gravity, or helped by flow in a pipe. If you cant manage that, you might end up needing to fit some air bleeder points or narrow hoses that loop up to the expansion tank just to get rid of air, while not bleeding off coolant.
Nick toon in Doncaster he did the loom too It was spot on just the idiot that's done the installation lol Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
