Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Is there anyway around this as I did it 22 years ago for my brother in Birmingham but can’t remember how I did it after a full flush of the system when the head gasket blew and was repaired but wasn’t cleaned.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello guys 996 overheating after both radiator replacement. Cannot bleed the system or don’t have a clue on how too. Please can someone help in easiest way to bleed. Thank you

POST 2Original post

Buy or hire a vacuum coolant bleeder, best £60 I’ve ever spent! Youll need a small air compressor too though, and a 20Litre drum or two for the coolant, preferably clear ones. The whole process is painless and a no brainer really for any car with a complicated cooling system ie Porsche. You can shut a tap halfway through if your system takes more than 20 litres in order to refill or swap over containers.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you for your reply. Why if I’m in Cyprus with no vacuum pump?. Is there anyway around this as I did it 22 years ago for my brother in Birmingham but can’t remember how I did it after a full flush of the system when the head gasket blew and was repaired but wasn’t cleaned. Also what is the process of doing it if I manage to get the above!. Thank you Edited by micky1786 on Saturday 11th November 16:32
