V70: Engine - Radiator bleed pipe

NL Craig · Mar 1st, 2018, 19:10

Hi Folks
I have noticed that the cars heater has been getting less hot recently and using more fuel so I changed the stat as they are only a 2min job but when I started to bleed the system I noticed that there is no coolant flowing through the bleed hose from the top of the radiator to the header tank and the top hose does not seem to be getting hot.
Is there anything else that could stop the top hose getting warm??
