VW Mk2 Golf - coolant system trapped air - andrew4
I have a VW MK2 Golf 1300.

Two weeks ago I put in a new radiator.

Unfortunately there is trapped air at the thermostat housing. I say this because the coolant temperature dial stays at zero and the temperature sensor for the dial is fixed at the top of the thermostat housing.

The coolant temperature dial has moved briefly to it's normal position only after parking the car on a hill though.

The radiator and thermostat works fine.

How do I purge the trapped air?

there must surely be a bleed valve somewhere? Do you have a manual for this vehicle?

Try replacing temp sensor.or check connection to it.would think the connection is faulty.I havent known a MK2 to suffer from air locks.though not impossible.Others may know different???

Mk II do not suffer from air locks, suspect connections ? To put your mind at rest unscrew the sensor to let any air out. Regards Peter
