S40: - Bleeding screw

scottishvolvo · Nov 5th, 2008, 18:30

Opened my bonnet tonight to fill my washer bottle and heard a hissing sound, found out it was the bleed screw in the rad hose was broken. Are these available to buy or has anyone used something else to seal the hole effectively?

Where's the offending bleed screw? I'm sure your dealer can get you one. My Mum had a Renault a few years back and the head of the plastic bleed screw came away leaving the thread in the pipe. I had to drill it out and replace with a solid brass type bleed screw...which incidently I got from the Volvo dealership

Had a look in the picture. It seems that it is in hose 13 where the lumpy bit is directly above 1B. Doesn't look as though it has an individual part number.
