Coolant bleeder hose cleanup

[gsa60]

Hello,
On the turbo models, there is that very thin (less than 5mm) hose/pipe that connects from the very top of the radiator back to the expansion tank.
I believe the main purpose is to help bleed the air when filling with coolant.

Mine's completely clogged.
Has it is a nard pipe and full of bends, does anyone have any good tips ou to clean that up?

Cheers

Hi GSA

Removal, hot water, gentle "massaging" and compressed air!

Does mean nose cone off i'm afraid to get to the rad connection.



I would also recommend a full cooling system service if the coolant has been of such poor quality to be blocking hoses

Hi Jay.
Thank you for the reply.
Then it's more a question of patience.

Yep I'm redoing all the cooling hoses (got a set). My radiator is broken so I am in process of swaping it.
Cheers
