[VZ] - VZ VE VF Alloytec Cooling System Repairs

Helpful basic overview: The following is for both VZ and VE and VF Alloytec motors. The first part of this is on my VZ. Opened the bonnet only to discover a fine line of pink spray from the dry red coolant, all across the engine bay. Lucky to catch it before it let go all together, and no...

I just found that all the videos in that link I posted of the bleed procedure have been deleted from my Imgur account. Well done Imgur. I should have used YouTube. I don’t think I still have them.

Update this morning. Got the SV6 Ute out , double checked and we did bleed it out . Cleared any air thru it - cooling system etc and warmer engine up and at idle , it’s sitting at 96 degrees C . Haven’t driven it past driveway shed / work shop .

No need for the heater to be on with VE. There is no heater tap. Hot water is always circulating through the heater core. The temp is regulated with doors/flaps that open or close off air flow depending on temp settings.

Mate. You aren’t looking at the linked thread. It literally holds your hand and walks you through the procedure step by step. It shows you how to make a bleed bucket if you don’t want to buy one. It even lists the Bunnings item numbers for the exact bits required to make one.

I wrote a few posts back that there is no bleed screw on VE/VF because of the different radiator design.
