all i do is heater on full blast pour water till rad is full then! rev it to 3-3.5 rpm bleed srew off pour water till water comes out the the bleed out put srew back and to up the water till it over flows run it up to temp job done(is a two man job really)

Ok thanks will try again I've herd they r pain to do but that's something close to how I done it last time, some say jacking it up...
The only thing thats not new is the rad cap any known issues with them?

[rich318i]

have you got the bottle on the rad version?

[Danny-C]

Yeah e36 new genuine one

[rich318i]

you getting heat in the car? so its all standered i take it?

[Danny-C]

Yeah getting heat and standard, warms up slowly as norm sits round half way but give it a little or just going up a hill it goes up too far. Keep trying to bleed but no luck

[rich318i]

if you got your heater on inside does the temp drop?

[Danny-C]

Eventually but not quickly

Thanks buddy I have read it but wasn't half as much on there then sounds similar I'm going to get on it this morning

I've have a update I've bled the system up as best as I can got air out but with the cap on and tight when u crack the bleed screw a little comes out then stops but if u crack the cap it comes out of the bleed screw. Is this correct???
I'm guessing not I had the bleed with the cap off could it b a new cap?

my mates a BMW man 25 yrs in the game and he all ways tops the rad up with both off revs it up tops it up till water comes out of the bleed puts the bleed back on then tops up till max and put rad cap back on.
