If you own a Subaru this is essential for doing the cooling system, I tried without it and still had air in the system it was driving me insane, got this and within 10 minutes all bubbles released and job was done! Don’t be a tool like me and forget to close off the cap when taking it off …….no comme
He wanted one of these from EBAY but Christmas was getting close and i wanted to get him a more expensive set since the one he sent me was very cheap. He has no complaints and it works how it should work.
Great addition to my car tools and equipment.
This will come in very useful in the future on various vehicles.
It made the bleed process painless with no coolant spillages. Good value for money.
Worked a charm on a Subaru boxer engine known for air locks. Filled up via the top hose, then this funnel. Left the engine to fully cool down, at this point it drew some coolant back in (or contacted due to temperature change). No air locks, first time
There was not a single leak or drip anywhere. The seals are pressure fit, maybe people need to push the fittings together before doing the threads up? Doing the threads up first may not create the seal. Don’t do it too tight as they are more difficult to undo than to tighte
Just choose the right attachment from the various ones supplied . Fit to expansion/ header tank and then fit funnel and away you go. Fitted my daughters 2012 1.4 astra perfectly with no leaks. Very Impressed with this bit of kit…. its a must for getting rid of air in the cooling system.
I have a car with the radiator in the front and engine in the back so needed some gravity to push the coolant round. all I did was use some silicone on the joints and left them for a day to stop any leaks and it worked fine.
I must say I was a bit sceptical of both the quality and functionality of this product on reading the sales blurb. However on receiving and using it I have found it to be of excellent build quality, really easy to use and highly effective.
I had a particularly difficult bleed problem on my Subaru Outback which, in common with many of today’s small cars, has a heater raised above the radiator to accommodate a small engine compartment and low profile bonnet/hood. Add to that the heater is fed horizontally from one end that naturally creates a major airlock at the other end.
It took a few attempts but the kit very successfully allowed me to bleed out the airlock !
Took a gamble on the product as it had zero reviews but was fairly priced compared to other coolant funnel/reservoirs.
MK1 MX5 radiator is difficult to “burp” free of air due to how low the cap sits. Ideally, it required something that would seal to the radiator but also allow me to remove it without dumping a litre of coolant over the engine bay.
Stop cock worked well, the unit didn’t leak and I finally filled the coolant loop without trapping air in no time at all.
Word of advice – the manual is almost useless so I suggest you figure out the correct fittings by:
First trying the radiator caps on your radiator ahead of time
Then create the cap seal by building an o-ring stack in this order:
[orange plastic feed with smooth bore out, snug fit o-ring, radiator cap, 1 or 2 larger O-rings in the kit to take up the slack, then thread onto the funnel’s black screw fitting.]
Use as few elbows and joints as you can to reduce leak points/ flex.
