[mr84darren]

JUST FIXED A LEAK BUT COOLANT WAS COMPLETLEY EMPTY, CAN I JUST FILL IT UP OR WILL IT NEED BLEEDING?

IF IT NEEDS BLEEDING DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO IT?

Quick question regarding coolant myself...

Got a NA...I can see the coolant yellow level thing in the engine bay inside the clear plastic tube...however I cant see any liquid of any sort in there...is this normal??

Car is fine...doesnt overheat...temp is firmly at half way after warming up etc...

Just a thought...

Check the level by checking under the rad cap (when engine is COLD).

It's not easy to check the expansion tank - wipe it clean as much as you can, then at night shine a touch inside & all around it to help give you an idea.

Fill it up - you'll need to bleed it too as there will be air in there.
