Yeah the bleed screw is tight for sure , The air is coming from the top mainly but does also come from the bottom too . I dont have a leak just air consistantly bubbling mainly in the top pipe that comes from the top hose.. |

Just to check is the coolant pink? There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

It needs proper coolant, it can take a while to self bleed. If it hasn't got pink in it then the coolant has been dropped out and needs replacing. It will slowly bleed out the air after it has been changed. Get the water swapped for some propert OAT pink coolant and run it for a while, to see what happens, it should stop bubbling once all the air is out. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

How could the bottom hose in the header tank cause air to be sucked in if it was under pressure or is that pipe not under pressure ?. |
