Peugeot boxer van need help with air lock after changing radiator?

no hot water going into metrics, got a air block, anyone know how to solve this pleasePeugeot boxer van need help with air lock after changing radiator?Really common problem on these and all their clones 806, 807, Evasion etc....



Wait till the truck is cold.



Open the bonnet.



There are a set of bleed valves on the top of the engine.



They look like the valve caps on the wheels.



Open these and add water till you have ejected all the air.



This should sort it





RPeugeot boxer van need help with air lock after changing radiator?I'm not familiar with the boxer,but many Pugs had small bleed screws attached to the heater hoses etc,they are usually black and about the size of a 5p and undo by hand have a look for them and if you find one or two start your engine and let it run for a minute and then Gently undo it/them BUT not when its hot..and you should hear air escaping from it do this a couple of times and this should do the trick..but please don't burn yourself!Peugeot boxer van need help with air lock after changing radiator?Ryhs has nailed it in one, 10/10
