Engine Oil Filler Cap - TVR Cerbera Service/Workshop Manual

CERBERA SERVICE/WORKSHOP .MANUAL
NOTE: Do not remove the blue pressure cap on the
expansion tank if the engine is hot. Always check the
coolant level when the engine is cold. If for any reason
the cooling system needs the addition of a large
quantity of coolant (Le. after draining or major leak)
then the system must be carefully bled.
With the heater control set to hot, fill the system through
the expansion tank. Then full loosen the large brass
screw on radiator. Air will be expelled - tighten the plug
when water without air bubbles is expelled. Loosen the
bleed screws on both the passenger side and driver side
coolant rails. These are located between the black air
boxes and the camshaft covers. Once again
expelled. Re-tighten the bleed screws when water
without air bubbles is expelled. Start the engine and run
run at fast idle (1500 rpm) with the blue pressure cap off
and continue to add coolant through the expansion tank.
Rebleed radiator and coolant rails before the engine gets
too hot. When the thermostat opens more coolant will
need to be added. When no more coolant can be added
replace the blue pressure cap. Let the engine run for a
few more minutes until the fan cuts in and switch off the
engine. Should the temperature gauge enter the 100°
section before the fan cuts in stop and allow to cool.
When the engine has cooled and no pressure can be felt
in the radiator hoses remove the blue pressure cap and
top up to the MAX level indicated on the side of the
expansion tank. Then rebleed radiator and rails, the
system is now full.
Note: Check the coolant level every week.
