Hi All Have replace my PRT and an couple of coolant hoses. Strange when I bleed the system no water comes out of the metal engine rail bleed until the coolant is quite hot. No water is pumping back into the expansion tank after initial start-up.
Have checked for any blockages (blowing into pipe) on the inlet manifold (jiggle valve) all appears clear and not stuck.
It appears that water is being driven via the small engine rail, and all all pipes rubber and metal are hot. (See Update)
Temperature look ok during bleed and rad and radiator all bleed OK.
Any ideas?
Robert
UPDATE: When engine up to temp. All pipes are hot. Small engine rail and feedback to expansion tank. Hoever, Inlet manifold pipe, from manifold (Jiggle)to expansion tank is cold and no coolant being fed back to expansion tank. I think the jiggle is stuck!
Is there any foolproof way of clearing jiggle without removing manifold?
Strange coolant behaviour
