cooling

[phatgit]

had the coolant dropped, flushed & refilled, kept a close eye on the tm2 same temps as previous,however started again a few hours later to let the Mrs off the drive, and the low coolant alarm went off, checked under bonnet, and signs of a blowwout of coolant, topped up ok water level was just below sensor, checked bleed pipe just to see if any air came out,just a slight psttt.
do you think i have a problem or is it just one of those moments? obviously i'll keep a close eye on it.
the garage that done it was"japanese import specialist". should i be worried?

Sounds like an airlock, pressure test the system to check for leaks, but it could be it wasn't bled right? I wouldn't go anywhere til it's been bled properly.

Defo agree with the above..

quick update. checked levels ok this morning,drove to work keeping a beedy eye on the TM2, ran normaly, checked again before leaving work all ok, drove up to dartford and return home (around 120miles) ran perfick,

[missfixit70]

Sounds like you got away with it

[mister munkey]

Agreed, but I'd still be a little wary that there may be an airlock in there somewhere.

A block can settle somewhere "safe" in the system & do no harm but once it starts to move about - its a bit like a blood clot - not terminal until it gets to the heart or the brain.

I suggest bleed, bleed & bleed again - better safe than sorry.

[missfixit70]

Fully agree, but as my suggestion to bleed was ignored the first time......

[phatgit]

in all the exitment,i forgot to mention that i took it back to the garage and he re-bled it but no more air came out

Good to hear just keep an eye on it, hopefully it was just a burp left in there.
