I didn’t know about that bleed hole. Cheers 👍
No probs , learn something new every day 👍
same!
On the U.S. version we have a separate (bleeder) nut on top of the hard line going across the engine. All you have to do is slightly release it when warm, or open it completely (when cold) and pour coolant into the reservoir tank until it comes oozing out of that little bleeder hole from the nut.
👍👍 haven’t come across that before , thanks for the info
many thanks man
You're welcome!
Muchas Gracias!
👍👍
W vid def gonna try this later I been having coolant issues w my A4. Coolant tank is full to the brim and water pump seems to be working fine. But for some reason my coolant light turns on after 15 mins of driving and the gadge starts going up. Hoping it’s just a faulty tank sensor
👍👍 hopefully so mate
Im loosing coolant but no visual leak under the engine. What would be the cause. I could not find the radiator cap ?
Benim araçta aynı işaret çıkıyor su eksiktiyor diyor ..havasını almakmi gerekir
No if the level is ok , it’ll be a faulty level sensor or the wiring
Niceee 🥂🥂🤙😃
Thanks 🙌👍👍
Hi can i use coolant if the pipe to the heater is missing..actually both pipes are missing..audi a4 2.0T station wagon
when you say missing has the matrix been bypassed then? if so you need to bleed it via just leaving the cap off
can it put engine management light in though, mine doing that and radiator fan runs high when i switch ignition on
Not that I’m aware off
That heater pipe does not easily slide by me.. It's kinda stuck. Any ideas? Or should I just use force to get it off?
it'll need a good wiggle!
Put a new resevoir in, do you happen to know why its leaking through the bottom or should I warranty it out
Maybe didnt bleed correctly probably my fault
IDE forgotten about that bleed hole 👍
👍👍
can i not just leave the lid of the coolant bottle and leave engine running to remove the air?
It should do eventually
Hi is the coolant supposed to be on the max level mine is just above the min line shall i just top it off to max thanks
Anywhere in the middle is ok but I prefer to set it to the max , yeah just top it up and keep an eye on it
@@diydaly thanks I know its not leaking because I changed the thermostat few months back and I didn't fill it up to max
@@diydaly thanks just topped it off today with g12+ coolant to the max and left cap open with car running few mins let any air out
The water simply disappears from my reservoir and gets to the lowest level. I don't know more what to do there's no water in the garage ground nothing. Don't see how it simply vanishes. Is this a solution? Audi A3 1.9 tdi 2008. Many thanks if someone can please help
are you sure its not leaking through the heater matrix into the car?
@@diydaly Already checked by Audi themselves and no leak supposedly... Even them they say that they don't know how it vanishes and wanted about 4.5 k to get the problem resolved. Once i asked how would they solve the problem without knowing exactly how that water vanishes they got a bit pissed and told they would have to spend some time on the car... I think they know and maybe it is simple but they don't say it to me
@@ruipedropereira366 could be head gasket but they are now very common unless the engine has been hot (over heated )
Is the level sensor on the bottom important ? I kinda ripped mine 🤦🏽♂️
Not massively , a lot of cars don’t have them but it’s nice to have working as it might save you cooking the engine if you have a leak!
I tried this and no coolant was coming through the little pin hole on the pipe, what could this mean ?
possible air lock
@@diydaly thank you for your feedback :)
