I’ve replaced a leaky under seat heater matrix and it occurred to me that with the water connections on the bottom, there would be a risk of air being trapped in the upper part. I connected a hosepipe to the circuit to try and fill the matrix and lo and behold, on testing, the upper section is cool. Any bright ideas as to how to bleed the air out?

Vacuum the system using a Mityvac hand pump or one of the coolant change systems that use compressed air to produce a vacuum in a container. Should be lots of tutorials on Youtube.

Thanks Jim,

I’ll give that a try.
