bleed cooling system - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #83870 7 posts Started by ILoveMySilly97
So my ECT sensor went bad and I replaced it. This was when I noticed it kept over heating randomly but then suddenly goin back down to cool again. I tried bleeding it but it didn't work. I think I might just be bleeding it wrong?

How I bled it was drove my car up to my drive way(up hill slope). Opened the radiatior cap. Turned the car on and blasted the heater. I poured coolant into the radiator and kept it overflowing so all the airpockets can get out. I did that for like 10 min. Its a lil netter but I think ima have to bleed it again?

You burped the coolant system properly. However, that sounds like a thermostat issue to me. It seems as if the thermostat is beginning to fail and is opening too late.

when you bled the air, did both hoses get fully hot?

Sorry about that. I forgot to mention that I also replace the Thermostat with a New 170 Thermostat. Do you know if our cars have a bleed valve at all?

Yea. Both got hot. I just don't think I'm doing it properly. I'll have to redo it again and if it doesn't work then a different method.
