Bleeding air from the cooling system

mladen_i20 · 12-19-2012, 02:57 PM

Is there any air bleeder screw on the hyundai i20 (1.25i)? tomorrow I'll buy a red shell antifreeze (G12). And I intend to replace it tomorrow. Is there any protection under the radiator that must be removed in order to gain the cooling mixture bleed screw?

Usually any air trapped in the system makes its way up to the header tank doesnt it?

The air is always moving up, but if the hose is folded so that its tip does not have an opening, air will remain trapped.

I wonder if he's talking about draining the system, you always get air trapped in it then.

Yes, ok

Today I dropped the coolant out through the sink faucet, but then come out less than 3L. I took off my reservoir cap and radiator cap. How to squeeze the remaining 1.1 liter? The technical data says that there are 4.1 liters of coolant mixture in i20 1.25

Still no answer?

To get the remaining coolant out there should be a drain bolt on the side of the engine block. Usually it's a brass bolt. You'll never get every single drop of coolant out of the system when draining.

Thanks, I will try to find that bolt on the engine block. You will also have to be aware that not everything can come out.
