OK i just flushed my radiator and block, now it wont accept all the coolent it should have? i let it warm up to temerature and stuff, but it still wont take it. i put a gallon of antifreeze in and than went to put a gallon of water and it barely took half. it still needs like a gallon of fluid, how do i get it to take it? yes im pretty sure the thermastat is working becuase the upper rad hose got hot after a while, and it accepted 'some' more coolent after that..............help please car in sig

 

There's a bleeder screw on the top pass. side of the radiator. It looks like a phillips, but unless you've got one that big find a flat blade that fits it well.

Open that and then fill 'til it runs out there, put bleeder screw back in and fill the rest of the way up.

Was that fast enough? Cheers

 

damn i couldent find that so i didnt think it mattered, i just figured it wasnt on the s5, ill go check, thanks alot

 

Nothing, i cant fine the bleeder anywhere, its not like on the s4 where its on the little conector that the upper rad hose comes off........ its just not there? what should i do, where is it on the s5?

 

no bleeder on S5

also make sure your heater is on

turn it to hot and crank it full blast

 

Yeah my heater is on full blast, i took it for a drive, temp stayed normal, eveything normal, no buzzer, rad it full still. I dont know, im pretty sure its getting to the block, i think there might be an air pocket in the syztem? how do i tell? how do i fix it? how do i make sure it doesnt happen again (if it is that?)

 

Leave the cap off when you turn the car on and fill it as you see bubbles, thats how we did it at Jiffy Lube, it should spill out unless you put to much in.

 

there arent any bubbles, it just stays at the same level, well it moves up and down about 1/2 inch but thats it? it only has like a gallon and a half of fluid in it? I dont get it!

 

Just a thought...when you drained your Coolant, did you remove the bolt/plug at the Driver's engine mount aswell?

 

yeah i did drain the fluid from the block... from the bolt near the drivers side engine mount
