To bleed a 406 TD radiator, start by ensuring the engine is cool and the heater is set to maximum temperature. Locate the bleed valve, which is usually found at the highest point of the radiator or near the thermostat housing. Open the valve slowly to release any trapped air until coolant flows steadily without bubbles. Finally, check the coolant level in the reservoir and top it up if necessary before closing the bleed valve.

On a Peugeot 406 petrol estate engine, the bleed nipples for the cooling system are typically located on the thermostat housing and near the top of the radiator. You may also find a bleed screw on the top of the engine, often near the cylinder head. These bleed nipples are used to release trapped air from the cooling system after refilling or changing the coolant. Always consult the vehicle's manual for exact locations and procedures specific to your model.

To bleed a radiator, locate the bleed valve at the top of the radiator and use a radiator key or screwdriver to open it slightly. As air escapes, you will hear a hissing sound. Once water starts to come out, close the valve. This will remove trapped air and improve the radiator's efficiency.
Of course
The first step that you can take to fix a radiator is to see if it needs to be bled. To bleed a radiator you will need a radiator bleed key. Unscrew the valve at the side of the radiator and when the first drop of water comes out, close the valve again. If this does not fix the radiator you will need to call in a plumber.
You shouldn't need to "bleed" the radiator in your Forester. If you top off the coolant in the radiator the next time you check the top of your radiator is empty again? You have a blown head gasket. Voice of experience here. --Ken

no air bleed valve. all you need to do is to remove the radiator cap and let the car idle for a few minutes.
