Hello all,

Very quick one.

Replaced my damaged/corroded engine radiator.

Removed expansion lid + radiator Hex drain plug.

Tried to open bleed nipple behind radiator (FLAT SCREWDRIVER) thought this would help flow.

Noticed it keeps turning and turning, either way.

Is this right?

How do I know when it's open or closed?

Thanks

 

OK just found this from post 4 years ago..



"Here is the trick to the little engine air bleed valve you won't find anywhere else. To remove it, simple turn the valve with a wide standard blade screw driver COUNTER-clockwise one quarter turn. That's it. Then you can remove it. To close the value, insert and wiggle in at 9 O'clock the way you removed it, then give it a quarter turn clockwise. And, your are done.

I hope fellow 2000 Jaguar 2-type 3.0l weekend mechanics out there will tuck this little bit of information away becaus someday you'll need it and save yourself alot of grief."

Is this correct people??

Thanks
