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.

We started to bleed the system but we kept getting massive pockets, I would totally use an air compressor but his HOA doesn't permit the use of air tools so we have to do it the old fashion way.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

we're having a hard time bleeding my friend's 2000 996 tiptronic cooling system his alternator bearing took a dive and stranded the car. I've replaced his alternator and belt, in doing so, the plastic coolant line connector disintegrated and we had to remove the coolant cover that the alternator attaches to We started to bleed the system but we kept getting massive pockets, I would totally use an air compressor but his HOA doesn't permit the use of air tools so we have to do it the old fashion way. This is what I'm gathering: - get rear higher than front - open vent valve - poor DI water in until filled - pull b1 fuse - HVAC max heat/fan, defroster mode, AC on - warm up car - keep expansion tank topped off as it is ingesting water - occasionally rev engine up to 4k We're definitely getting air pockets because we can't get the water temp to stabilize and occasionally the hvac temp is dropping any tips? - at what point should I close the vent valve

Leave the vent valve open until you are done burping the baby. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...lve-works.html https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...lant_Flush.htm
