T350 Coolant change/top-up (w/ expansion tank)
Discussion
Hi all,
Never really had much dealing with a coolant system before so any guidance would be much appreciated.
Car seemed to be running a little hot, particularly while stationary and both fans are running correctly so decided to investigate.
The expansion tank was bone dry and the swirl pot was a bit low so topped up with (the correct) water. Not entirely sure of the coolant in there currently so will come back for a complete flush and change later on, and probably take the opportunity to fit some lovely silicone hoses too!
Topped up at the swirl pot to level with the upper most hose, but since then it seems to be depleting more frequently. Do I need to bleed the system? How? Where? Etc etc.
Also, to be a pain, I’m a very visual person! So any images people have of previous work and locations of critical components would be great!
Thanks in advance. Will also be at the Silverstone Classic end of the month so if anyone there is happy to talk me through it in person lunch is on me!
