Initial filling
of
the Libra cooling system, the factory say it is easy, but
experience dictates otherwise. We overcame this by using a garden type
pressure spray bottle (PSB), 5 litre, by "HOZELOCK". You can fill this
with 5 litres of 50/50 antifreeze mixture. When all the pipework is
connected,
except the final connection to the Plastic Expansion Header tank, the
small
pipe which comes under the car from the radiator, and you are
ready
to fill up the system - connect the PSB outlet tube to this rubber
pipe,
leave the cap off the expansion bottle. Prime the PSB not too much
pressure
on the pump just enough to keep the flow going. Fill the whole system
using
this method. There should be two bleed points on the system, one at the
front in a heater hose (we used the metro one built into the heater
hose)
& the one on the engine at the gearbox end. This method ensures
that
the cooling system is filled from the front of the car pushing the air
out of the expansion bottle at the back of the car. I have also found
this
PSB method useful during a recent (02/06/03) radiator renewal on a 1989
Honda Prelude to assist in bleeding the system.
