Coolant system bleed procedure

[TerryG]

I hope this isn't too stupid a question but as there are several fact sheets giving alternative methods of bleeding the system, does this mean that the official procedure in the Mazda handbook and manual doesn't work?

[Simon Jones]

No, just means folk have come up with some variations. The 'see saw' method seems to be a popular alternative. I made my own bleeding kit using a valve, pump and reservoir, so there's plenty of options.

has your bleed system and kit been documented ?
any links?

[Simon Jones]

There's quite a bit of info here: http://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/view ... lit=Washer. I've made a few tweaks to it by fitting a switch for each motor so I've got better control of the flow, but it's basically working as the original prototype. When I get some time, I plan to make another smaller version which I can carry in the van.

There are also 3 videos on Utube to show you how to do it
