How do i bleed 1.2 8v coolant?
Right picked up a 1.2 corsa, dorve it for a couple of days and it started to make a funny sound which i reconize to being the water pump, then i remembered i put water init not so long after i boguth it, so i decided to bleed the system, but i cant find a bleed valve?

If your water pump is making a noise it needs replacing ASAP if it fails and it siezes up it will snap your timing belt or if it fails and doesn't pump water your engine will overheat.
The only time you need to bleed the coolant is when you fill it from empty. you need to unscrew the temperature sender from the top of the inlet manifold then add coolant untill it comes out of the hole screw the temperature sender back in and add the rest of the coolant.
