E39 525 TDS 1998 lufting

[Laugiz]

Har akkurat bytta ekspansjons tank og skal lufte kjøle systemet.

Kan noen si meg hvor lufte skruen sitter?

Hei! fant noe fra de andre forum, kanskje nyttig for deg.

Cooling system bleed procedure – M62 engine (E39 – 97 version)

- with "cold" engine

- top up coolant to proper level

- leave rad cap loose

This stage bleeds air trapped in the heater system.

- turn on ignition switch to position 2 (no start)

- set temperature selectors on the climate control to max temp.

- manually set the fan speed to low (lower end of speed range)

- start engine (check that climate settings have not changed)

- after 5-10 seconds of running rev the engine 3-4 times to about 2500 RPM - hold there for about 5 seconds each time.

- shut off engine (should not run for much longer than about 30 seconds (you want to shut if off before it starts to generate any heat and expand the coolant).

- inspect the coolant level and top up again if necessary.

- tighten the coolant fil cap.

This stage bleeds air from the engine, rad and fill tank.

- now warm up the engine (drive a bit if you wish)

- with engine running CAREFULLY / SLOWLY open the bleed screw. Hold a rag around the area to prevent any excess splashing. Keep the screwdriver in the slot of the bleed screw so you can close it quickly.

- you should have some air/steam escape - progressing to some bubbles of coolant.

- as soon as it progresses to the stage where you are seeing liquid coolant come out then close the bleed screw. Do not over tighten - it is all plastic threads and you can easily turn too far at which point the screw jumps back a thread and you have to re-tighten. Just make it snug with all coolant stopped.

- when the car is cold again re-check the coolant level and top up again if necessary.

You may have to repeat the bleed procedure 1 or 2 more times over the next week. Can "probably" skip the stage for the cold start bleeding of the heater system.

If the level continues to fall below the correct level then have the system fully pressure tested - explaining to your service manager what you have already done.

It is very important that all leaks be sealed so that the system can operate at full pressure. The engine computer is programmed to keep the coolant temp at about 108C at "most" times (there are exceptions) and the only way it can maintain that temp (above the boiling point) is if the pressure can be maintained - system fully sealed.

har du email, jeg kan sende deg PDf prosedyre for å lufte kjølesystem fra TIS (BMW)

Disse skal vel være selvluftende?

Skiftet vann pumpe på min for ett år siden og fylte bare opp ekspansjonstank etterfylte etterhvert som vannstand sank.

Etter en liten stund var den tynne vannstrålen i ekspansjonstanken fri for luft.

Har samme som deg bare ett år eldre

Mulig det pga at på tds'n er ekspansjonstanken på høyeste punkt på kjølesystemet. På andre bensin varianter er ekspansjontankenen intergert med radiatoren. Men der en lufteskru under pollenfilterhuset på venstre side også.

tusen takk for denne... var akkurat det jeg lette etter.. siden jeg har m62... hehe !

tds har "selvlufting". fylle på så lenge du kan, vannet kommer tilbake med luft fra den tynne slangen.

Når du starter, sørg for at varmeapp står på. Du er ikke ferdig å lufte før du også har fått termostaten til å åpne, dette sjekkes ved at høyre slang til radiator blir varm.
