Hi
P38 4.6 LPG , having trouble bleeding the in car radiator in the dash , top hose going in is boiling hot , bottom hose from radiator just warm .
Is it possible to put an inline bleed in to the top hose ? and if so can you forsee any problems this might create ?

Thanks


Phil

Cooling system can be difficult to bleed at best of times and running the heating full blast while doing so is correct way i think. The hose pipe trick sounds like a good idea

Maybe it needs flushing first.
