Year 2000 2ltr Petrol/LPG Automatic Mazda Bongo Bleed

[Astroman]

Hi, I watched the old video with Kirsty etc showing how to bleed the coolant system on a mazda bongo and we were all ready to give it a try today but we couldn't find the bleed hose anywhere. It's a different model that the one in the video, ours is a Year 2000 2ltr Petrol/LPG Automatic.

Does anyone know where the bleed hose is on this model, if there is one?

You will be delighted to know the 2ltr petrol is self bleeding, just like any other car.

The Good Lord looks after 4 cylinder petrol owners.

It's self bleeding if you have the extra pipe shown here:

Thanks, Simon, clear as always.

Oh right, cool. Being trying to figure out why the heating is so crap, luke warm at best set on hottest, 32 degrees.

try back flushing the heater radiator

Has the thermostat Been checked?

[Astroman]

I don't know how to back flush the heater radiator. I did try having a look at it, taking all the big plastic bit from above the fan off, but couldn't find two pipes to flush out I'd seen mentioned elsewhere.

Not sure where the thermostat is and how to check it.

follow pipes from expansion bottle

one at least will go back to bulkhead and oner of the heater connections
