There is usually a plastic bleed screw or a small hole in one of the hard lines near heater core on Audi's of that era up to the C5 Audi A6. My 1993 V8, 1993 90, 1987 5000tq and a friends 1995 S6 all have something of that nature to allow air to escape from the highest point in the cooling system. The plastic bleedscrew is obvious but the other style which is a hole in the heater core hard line is simply uncovered and resealed by sliding one of the heater core hoses down to uncover the bleed hole. Once you get a clear stream of coolant slide the hose up and tighten the hose clamp.
Another AAE driver! Greetings from Cologne. Welcome to the slow, but very Comfortable side of life. As far as I remember, Audi build less AAE than AAN (S4), so you can look down (or more like from behind) on those everywhere S4 driver ;-)
Would recommend Dimitri to upgrade the alternator with higher amperage, subs take alot of power & its great for long term anyways. Another thing, the ghetto way to do it is to drill a small hole in the thermostat itself, saves time during bleeding
Hey, for the termostat to check if it works, put it in a catle boil some watter up and see if it klicks. For bleeding the system try to move front of the car up atleast by 50 cm, it gonna help all air to flow to the highest place and come out. I had the same problem with my bmw e30. PS in which city do you live. I moved to Belgium not long ago, i m searching budys to ride with :) Pss say to Dymitri that i give 7 squating gopniks for his car. Mybe he will understand :D
I usually manage to get most of the air out by repeatedly squeezing the larger coolant hoses. You can also feel if the hoses have coolant in them and if the thermostat has opened. It can be tricky, ive had the same problem happen before. I drive a '92 Audi 100. I have owned a '84 100 Avant and a '85 Coupe GT. Worked on all of them myself.
Awesome! I used to be a mechanic and the garage I worked at serviced one of these for years. When the guy got a new company car he brought it in to us and asked us if we wanted to buy it for £450. It was so cheap, had a full MOT test and was ready to go. Regret not buying that car! It was amazing!
Very cool to see a C4 and C6 in the same video. Sidenote, I don't think I've ever seen such a base model C4! FWD, manual HVAC, no wood inside, battery in the front instead of under the seat, etc. But very cool ProCon-Ten sticker on the back window!
Dude, I just wanted to say how delighted I was to see you guys working on an old Audi, Volvo, BMW, etc... I love working on my "old" 99 A4 despite owning much newer cars. Keep up the good work and great videos!! Btw, love the new shop setup. Greetings from NJ
I have never seen a thermostat without a weep hole to allow the system to purge air. Also, many cars have a bleeder port at the highest point in the cooling system, making bleeding it very easy.
I only discovered this channel a few weeks ago, and it’s already one of my favorites. Your projects, your presentation, I love it! Way to go man, I’m hyped for every new video and project 😍
Multiple things as tips: 1. The power cable for the sub is a bit small if it really is a 1200w system 2. Try to refrain from having ur power cable and signal cable right next to each other 3. If the system has a problem with bleeding, try to drill a small hole (or 2) into the thermostat. I do that if they don't come from factory like that
Hey guys, great content, always a pleasure to watch you. For bleeding, you should try to close that expansion tank. Pressure will build up, increase the temperature at which the coolant will boil (that's what's pressure cooker are all about ;) ). AND, the pressure will help you reducing the volume of the air bubbles ! Good luck from a French neighbour !
De werkplaats is flink gevorderd, respect! Jammer dat de verlagingsveren van de Audi werden afgekeurd. Hier in Nederland is het gelukkig wat makkelijker met de keuring.
hey man, awesome video (as always). I had the same problem when refilling the coolant of my mk2 Golf. I just kept it running at 1100 RPM until there were no air bubbles. Now after 2 months, it still runs great.
small tip: if you have issues with the thermostat due to air, you could drill a tiny hole in the outside area of the thermostat. that way air can escape.
back in 90's Audi 80 or 90 2.3 5 cylinder - drill a 4mm to 5mm bypass hole in a new thermostats sealing face - reassemble, jack the front wheel under expansion tank as high as possible - heater on hot and fast idle - till air lock came out... did several as worked at a indy VAG specialist
For some cars the cooling system bleeding is only possible if you close the expansion tank. The system works normally under some pressure which is also needed for bleeding. I had the same problem with my Golf mk1 and closing the expansion tank helped me with bleeding.
When installing subwoofers with high power draw you need to run the RCA cable and power cable on as far away from each other as possible, otherwise you might get some defects with the audio, didnt see how you guys did it but im just trying to help :)
A good way to solve the thermostat issue is to drill a small hole in it to allow tiny amount of coolant to go through, but more importantly the air to pass through. This helps bleed it out.
You can drill 1.5mm hole on the top of thermostat and this should help to push air out. Some BMW thermostats had small dent on the top of it to help air move around.
Mooi stukje speurwerk om het koelsysteem op orde te krijgen, maar gelukt ! Nu nog een nieuw set fondue vorkjes voor je Moeder kopen ! Leuke video als altijd !
Great video Memphis! About that Audi cooling system. Maybe you could try drilling a small (2 mm orso ) hole in the thermostat. That way if any air is trapped in the thermostat housing, it can escape even without the thermostat being open.
quality stuff my dude's, it's fun to see people who don't claim they know everything, just try and fix a car. it's sad though that these cars (one's we can fix) won't last for long on the road with all the nonsense regulations.
Those lowering springs looked like they were on upside down. Put the tight pitch on top for less risk of debree binding in the spring and a more stock look in place.
Protip: At 6:25 you would be better of to lift up the plastic covers and unscrewing 7 screws that hold the whole trim. it would take you just a minute or two and make work of getting that cable through so easy.
I have the south american version of the 8v, the AP, and to bleed the coolant circuit i just let the water boil with the cap open until the fan starts, of course a lot of coolant pours out but it gets the job done. I also check that the heater core circuit valve it's open, so no air bubbles there to screw the job. I just did it this month when doing a full coolant flush and casually my thermostat stay open lol, so got to the job again. PS: videos are great, your friends broke up with the shame and it tells, excellent job guys!
You have become my new favorite car channel, congrats ! I like the relaxed way you explain what you are doing and the video work, and most of all, that you are working on old, over-the-hill cars and making them road worthy again, i think that is awesome. This is what we need more of ! I'm so bored of seeing videos about the latest and greatest cars from X manufacturer, let's recyle what's out there instead and make them road worthy. Please don't change this style when you pass 100000+ followers
I think the problem on cooling system might be a cracked head garniture,because of preasure in your system, maybe a bloked front radiator. The tool that you use is for filling coolant system,the process works like that: 1.drain maximum liquid. 2.install all pipes. 3.make vacuum for 15 min. 4.check vacuum leak for 1 min by closing air valve on tool. If vacuum is ok the indicator stay on might be on red or at the end of indicator. If it is a leak the indiacator move. If it is all ok fill the system and remember how much liquid do you flooded. After this star the car and let it work on idle with heating on and time by time hit the gas pedal till 2000 rpm,and wait until it runs a working temperature. When the car will be cold maybe next day, check the level. P.s Sorry for my English,regards from Moldova.
Unsure of this model, but there's usually a bleeder valve in the heater core.... (if you remove the big black rain tray). I have the S4 (C4 100) model of this vehicle.
I also have a c4 s4 2.2t and c4 a6 1.9tdi, and they both have the bleeder valve on the rubber hose that goes to the heater core. Think al c4 chassis cars have this. That could be the reason why dimitris cooling system was hard to bleed.
When you pull it under vacuum, you’re shooting for 30inHg - that’s perfect vacuum. But most times you’ll get you 25-26 and that’s perfect. You guys, just looking at the gauge what I could see, only had about 15inHg pulled so you left a huge pocket in there. Another good way to bleed things, if you can’t get the pocket out is get a coolant pressure tester and put about 5PSI in the system. Then crack open the bleed screw. Keep doing that until all the bubbles are gone and it’s straight coolant coming out. I had to do a thermostat on a Vagon once and even drawing a vacuum did nothing because of how long the hoses were. So I had to keep putting it under pressure and force the air out manually. Love the vids.
Water system air problem you have is very easy to do, just push on the thick pipe until the air is out while the car is turned off, then turn on the car and remove the little return line and put it beneath the coolant reserve and you will successfully bleed all the air that easy will take only 5 minutes,, this trick works on all makes and models, i have the same audi a6 95 and this is what works for me
Top video Memphis! Ik had hetzelfde probleem met het vernieuwen van de koelvloeistof in mijn Golf GTI. Ook daar kon ik de lucht er uit knijpen door in de slangen te knijpen. Zoals je zo mooi zegt: until next time....
If you have access to a garden hose, flush the system to get rid of all the crap (with the engine cold). Let me give you a tip: drill a 3 mm hole in the stat to help bleed the system. I've done that in my Taunus and works great.
I had the same issue with the thermostat. Tried drilling holes in the thermostat, but it didn't help either. In the end, here is what I did: jammed the thermostat open with vitamin-C pills that obviously dilute after a while. As a result, no airpockets.
Thats why you put the heat on full and have the lid open on the expansion bottle and you cant fill it to the max either cause then it cannot circulate the liquid.
Nice to see some further progress on the 100en! I personally don't see the big upside by putting it such a ridiculous subwoofer... Anyhow, Tibo should try to source a more proper instrument cluster for it to get an rpm counter. But does it have a sun roof leaking? Just a bit curious to why we're seeing both the headlining and door cards being in such a bad shape.
If you have issue were there is a "hiss noise" in the speakers, its because you installed the subwoofer cables next to the positive wire. Idealy you would install it on the other side of the car to avoud this :)
When vacuum-filling the cooling system, you need to suck out more vacuum, looks like the gauge is showing a third? I would say probably more like half, close to the yellow mark. And another tip is to drill a small hole in the thermostat and position the thermostat so that the hole is in 12'o clock. And be careful putting pressure into the intake with the engine off. Open the oil stick or oil filler cap before introducing pressure. Otherwise, if you put to much pressure, you can blow out the main seals as you pressurize the crankcase.
I had the exact same problem with my old 100 2.6e. Took about six hours before it finally burped up the last air bubble. But unlike you guys, I had to take apart the whole engine to change the thermostat😂
Bleeding a cooling system can sometimes be a pain in the ass. Sometimes you have to pull the front of the car up, sometimes the rear. Boiling during bledding is normal to some extent.
I'm late to the coolant-bleeding party and I dunno if it is already said, but you've got to crank cabin heater all the way to max to enable the coolant (and trapped air) flow. Also there may be a bleeding nipple, though VAG engineers might have it omitted (there're many bone-headed dudes at VAG)
You could have saved yourself alot of trouble by drilling a small hole in the thermostat to ease the bleeding..Great vids btw this is the first time I comment on one of your videos even though I'm an old fan. Keep it up.

It's not getto some thermostats have a hole from factory.

It's better to pass the rca cable from the opposite side then the positive cable so the audio signal is better and not disturbed! 👍🏻
There are no high frequency's running trough that positive able. Should be no problem
Very cool to see a C4 and C6 in the same video.

Yes and if you want you can drill a tiny hole in the outside of the thermostat that would help too

You can always drill a small hole in the thermostat to aid in purging air. A small bit usually around a mil or two is sufficient

Think al c4 chassis cars have this.
That could be the reason why dimitris cooling system was hard to bleed.
try to drill a little hole into the thermostat so, when you want to air out the system the colant can fit through the hole you drilled
Thanks for all this info! Struggling with an Audi 100 just like yours but a Quattro 2.8.
Kinda fun, i also have an e34 and my plate is 0-AFD-826.
For bleeding the coolant lift the front of the car. Then turn heat and blower to the max to get the air out from the heater core.
You guys should run the rca cable opposite side away from power lines
When you pull it under vacuum, you’re shooting for 30inHg - that’s perfect vacuum. But most times you’ll get you 25-26 and that’s perfect. You guys, just looking at the gauge what I could see, only had about 15inHg pulled so you left a huge pocket in there. Another good way to bleed things, if you can’t get the pocket out is get a coolant pressure tester and put about 5PSI in the system. Then crack open the bleed screw.

So I had to keep putting it under pressure and force the air out manually. Love the vids.
Its usually better to run the power and signal cable for the sun on different sides. It can cause interference.
Great video Memphis, your content always makes me happy, thanks man.

Water system air problem you have is very easy to do, just push on the thick pipe until the air is out while the car is turned off, then turn on the car and remove the little return line and put it beneath the coolant reserve and you will successfully bleed all the air that easy will take only 5 minutes,, this trick works on all makes and models, i have the same audi a6 95 and this is what works for me

For the thermostat just drill one or two small hole in it, it will not be enought to bypass it but the air pocket will go throught.
Dude, once again great content it and I can't wait to see you start working on the E28..
Hoe verliest ge uwen uitlaat hahahaha, maar nice video altijd fijn om te zien.
Thats why you put the heat on full and have the lid open on the expansion bottle and you cant fill it to the max either cause then it cannot circulate the liquid.
I loved the comment "took a hit on the bong".
You will never empty the whole cooling system by disconnecting the hose, thats why you couldnt fill all the 7 liters into it
“It sounded like Dmitri took a hit from the bong”
*hardbass intensifies*
I liked the subtitles, and the entire video!
What happened to your Golf?
Waiting for more BMW screen time....LOL
If you don´t have any air boubles, then you should check if the radiator fan is working well.
