You fill an automotive radiator with a mix of 50% anti freeze and 50% clean water.
The lower radiator hose supplies the water pump. The upper radiator hose supplies the radiator.
If the bubbles are because you need to bleed the system, full bleeding can have many sequences. All cars require that your heater is set to the max heat so that the valve is fully open and able to except coolant and allow to release bubbles. you'll also have to fill the radiator with the correct coolant all the way to the filler neck. next you'll have to see if your vehicle has a bleed valve somewhere around the engines upper inlet. if it does have one open it slightly. bubbles will Begin to escape as the are escaping keep filling the radiator to the top till you see that threw the bleed valve your getting a steady stream of coolant coming out. If it does not have a bleed valve you will have to fill it to the top. Turn the engine on and allow the thermostat to open. when this happens the coolant level will drop. Add more coolant in the radiator and accelerate the vehicle to 2000 rpm for 2-3 minutes. this will allow the water pump to pull air bubbles out the radiator filler neck. you will have to do this maybe 3 times max to get all air bubbles out of the system. once you have achieved this fill the reservoir to the middle of the hot and cold lines because by then you have warmed up your engine a bit.
The radiator is typically secured onto brackets using mounting hardware such as screws or bolts. The brackets are positioned on the sides of the radiator where they line up with holes in the radiator frame. By attaching the brackets securely to the radiator frame, the radiator is held in place and mounted properly.
To flush a radiator, first make sure the engine is off and cool. Locate the radiator drain plug, usually at the bottom, and use a container to catch the old coolant. Pour radiator flush solution and water into the radiator, run the engine for a few minutes, then drain the radiator by opening the drain plug. Finally, refill the radiator with the recommended coolant and water mixture.
If the radiator is not pulling water from the reservoir even with a new cap, there may be an issue with the radiator itself such as a clog, a faulty radiator inlet/outlet, or a malfunctioning water pump. It is recommended to have the radiator system inspected by a professional to diagnose and resolve the problem.
Take radiator cap off, fill radiator with coolant, put cap back on!
The radiator overfill tank is the only spot to fill the radiator. There is no fill cap on the radiator itself.
1) remove radiator cap2) Fill radiator with coolant.3) replace radiator cap4) remove reservior cap5) fill to "fill cold" line6) replace reservior capIf your system not very low or empty you can omit 1-3.
On the radiator.
The Yamaha 850 XS is an air cooled bike. There is no radiator to fill.
Why does the radiator fill up the reservoir
Fill the radiator through the coolant resivour, which is on the passenger side engine compartment.
Coolant goes in the radiator or you can also fill the radiator resevoir.
You have to fill the overflow tank as the radiator does not have a fill cap. Run the engine as you fill the overflow tank but just up to the marks on the tank.
You use the coolent reservoir bottle to fill the radiator. It should fill the rad before it fills the bottle.
Many VW Beetles from '98 to '05 don't have a traditional old-school radiator cap. The radiator fluid usually is poured into the radiator fluid recovery bottle. There should be a fill line on the bottle.
Let the engine cool and press down and twist the radiator cap to the left to remove it. Fill the radiator to the top and reinstall the cap. Check the coolant level in the overflow reservior and fill it to the fill line.
