Okay, so I opened my reservoir cap, then the bleed screw. Poured my coolant in until it came out the bleed screw. Replaced bleed screw, started engine (with reservoir cap off the whole time. Waited till car got to temp, and then placed cap back on reservoir and then turned off engine. Still makes gurgling noise when I drive. What did i do wrong? Also, I never had to add any coolant or water all the while the engine was running. Anybody wanna take a stab at this one? Thanks.

 

You never bleed the coolant system with the cap off, put it back on before starting the engine. Also, only bleed the engine when it is stone cold if you want to get the air from the system. After bleeding it and driving it, recheck the coolant level before cold starting it, if it is down, refill to the cap and recheck 2 or 3 days later.

 

Wow.. I didn't realize you had to replace cap. Good I read this..

 

That and you were not bleeding the system properly.

Yes, it is not the correct way to bleed a D2. I have sent a message to Spike asking him to correct it so this won't come up in the future.

 

where can we get correct instructions?

 

Look at my first reply to this thread, should answer your question or send me your number and I'll walk you thru it.

 

Thanks Mike
