I've got to take my matrix hoses off at the weekend to fit my gti6 manifold and to put the gti6 ones on but problem is, there will only be a manifold on there and no exhaust so I can't really start the car. Is there a way I can bleed the system without having to start the car?

As stupid as it sounds brim the header tank, cover the overflow pipe with a finger and blow into the filler hole as hard as you can making sure you get a good seal, while you (or someone helpful) unscrew the bleed nipples to let the excess air out, I know it sounds daft but it works as you are pressurizing the system in effect Wink

i use this method Big Grin does the job Big Grin
