Outlander 2008 radiator bleed plug.
Hi guys just hoping for some help regarding my radiator on my new 2008 outlander DI D. Had a coolant leak and used radweld. Seemed to do job but now Have cold air going out of car heaters. I believe this is air in cooling system as I have had issues before on other cars. But bleed plug is nowhere to be found.

I think, assume, mostly sure
That the filler cap is the highest point in the system. If you have air bubbles in your heater core, you can bleed them out by turning on the heater full blast while letting the engine idle and topping off from the cap
This is from the Service Manual: "By referring to the section on coolant, select an appropriate concentration for safe operating temperature within the range of 30 to 60 %. Use special tool MB991871 to refill the coolant. A convenient mixture is a 50 % water and 50 % antifreeze solution [freezing point: -31°C (-24 °F)]. Recommended antifreeze: Long Life Antifreeze Coolant or an equivalent Quantity: 9.5 dm3(10.0 quarts) 10.0 dm3(10.6 quarts) <Vehicles with Towing Package or DOR radiator> 9.Reinstall the radiator cap. 10.Start the engine and let it warm up until the thermostat opens. 11.After repeatedly revving the engine up to 3,000 r/min several times, stop the engine. 12.Remove the radiator cap after the engine has cooled, and pour in coolant up to the brim. Reinstall the cap." |
