So my ECT sensor went bad and I replaced it. This was when I noticed it kept over heating randomly but then suddenly goin back down to cool again. I tried bleeding it but it didn't work. I think I might just be bleeding it wrong?
How I bled it was drove my car up to my drive way(up hill slope). Opened the radiatior cap. Turned the car on and blasted the heater. I poured coolant into the radiator and kept it overflowing so all the airpockets can get out. I did that for like 10 min. Its a lil netter but I think ima have to bleed it again? -------------------- |

You burped the coolant system properly. However, that sounds like a thermostat issue to me. It seems as if the thermostat is beginning to fail and is opening too late.

Do you know if our cars have a bleed valve at all? QUOTE (Bitter @ May 20, 2012 - 6:12 PM) when you bled the air, did both hoses get fully hot? Yea. Both got hot. I just don't think I'm doing it properly. I'll have to redo it again and if it doesn't work then a different method. -------------------- |
