I recently had my Celica with a 5sfe taken in to get a new radiator. problem being now is i think there is air traped inside. Tried Numerous times to bleed it.. what happens is when i take the car for a long drive and shut it down it dumps about a litter of coolant out the expansion tank and it also dose sometimes when the car is running.. Temp is normal according to the gauge and the car runs fine otherwise. I've taken it back to the mechanics and they failed to fix the problem. What's worse is i had plans to go on holidays and drive this car there. witch is less than a week away!
My bleeding procedure is the following so correct me if Im wrong. Turn the heater to full hot. (fans off). Start the car with the rad cap off. using a small funnel wedged in there i top off the radiator. I then rev the car as it seems to help purge the air out. Wait for the bubbles to stop and shut the car off and refit the rad cap. please help. |

Check the radiator cap. As for the radiator fan, your fan temperature switch may be malfunctioning. Toyota designed the system to fail with the fan on; the switch turns the fan off if the coolant temperature is too low. However, the temperature in the radiator may be too high again because of the radiator cap.
