Problems on cannells please help !!!!!!!!!!

Jul 07, 2006 3 Replies

I mentioned in a previous post that I needed to bleed the cooling system on my 1989 944S2. I bought the Haynes manual but it is useless so I went to the cannells website as suggested. I have downloaded the engine manual but it does not mention bleeding the cooling section. The other manuals on his site are for the 944 transmission, chassis and electrics. There is no manual explaining how to bleed it.



Can someone PLEASE PLEASE copy and paste the information here on how to do it. Or give me a link to a website that will tell me.


It's dead easy to bleed the air from the system using the little bolt on the top of the hose fitting (its the highest point of the cooling circuit). Just open it up until water comes out. I then started the car, and over a few minutes while it warmed up, I carefully bled out more air that found its way up to the bleed screw.

If I was you, I would get a thermostat put in. It's like that other chap said, a removed thermostat could quite possibly make it run hot rather than cold, it just depends how the circuit is designed.

Or maybe your radiator is clogged up with sediment??
