Marlie 0 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Ive been researching how to bleed the cooling system after replacing the reservoir and cant find much. Anyone have any information/ diagrams i can follow? Link to post Share on other sites
thismarks 65 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The drain is located on the right bottom of the radiator. The release valve is plastic and can be turned by hand. The drain opening is right below the valve. Make sure the car has cooled and been sitting for about an hour before draining the coolant to avoid injury. Release the filler cap on the overflow to before draining so it flows more freely. Old thread but it should help others. LittleBlue! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I just filled it to the proper level and had zero issues. thismarks 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur 0 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Greetings. Been trying for some time to stop the gurgling sound (apparently air bubbles ) from the cooling system in my Spark 1.2. The coolant level stays fairly constant. Problem seems to occur when the thermostat has opened. The engine does not overheat at all. Link to post Share on other sites
