    That trickling water sound.

    I noticed today a trickling of water sound when I've turned the heater on. I know that this is air in the cooling system.
    The issue is what to do about it.
    As the car was repaired, head fixed, radiator flushed by Ritter, can I get them to bleed the cooling system? BTW they fixed this car on August 22nd 2015. I did hear a faint trickle noise a month or so after that but it stopped.
    So will Ritter fix under warranty? or is the time too long?
    Or do I do it myself, which seems a royal pain in the arse
    Or pay Ritter to bleed the system?
    or a closer independent Landy mechanic?
    or just leave the heater turned off

    The car is not losing coolant, it gets checked weekly along with the oil In any case, up at Echuca in Jan 2016 when the outside temp was 39 or 40 C the coolant temp, via my Nanocom, ranged between 89 and 93 in a car park, parked, i.e. stationary with the air-con on and the engine running.


    Thanks

    Bleeding the cooling system is very easy , thing is if it was air in the system it would do it without turning the heater on as there is no tap to stop the coolant flowing regardless of heater status , are you sure its not leaves / foreign body in the blower fan ?, if it is , its another easy job .

    Not done it before, nervous about breaking the reservoir or something else. A couple of horror stories I read.
    Like a lot of things once you've done it once, it is easyish. Doing it once is a hurdle at times.
    I'm good at changing the oil in the R380, I've done that three times.

    As the sound only occurs when set to defrost I guess that it is leaves or fod in the blower fan. I have the HVAC set on auto, so the fan only blows hard after the temp goes up. Which I thought was due to (Non existant) the water flow valve opening.

    Thanks

    Easy to drop the fan out to check.
    In the left foot well drop the cover under the dash(bellow the glove box).
    3 bolts from memory and the power lead and it should wiggle out.

    Not really, I've gone from a "bleed the cooling system" which I've never done before to a "Remove the HVAC Blower" which I've never done before. Except that the car can run without a heater and If I bugger the bleed screw, which is possible I have no car until it get fixed. Unlikley as the top hose and bleed screw are new but you never know.

    All the other bits and pieces, well the car is 13 years, 7 months old. Stuff will need replacing and repairing. I knew that when I bought the car, the same applies to any car that old. I think that I have a 4wd that looks better than a Pajero or a Toyota and is a very capable 4wd to boot.

    Cheers

    chances are the mechanic bleed it, but not with the heater on.
    this makes a big difference.

    bleeding at home is easy, just make sure the heater is on full while you do it.
