How to Bleed the Cooling System of the Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Antifreeze coolant

In this video, you will learn how to bleed the coolant from the Fiat Panda. Perform all operations with the engine off and cold. Start by unscrewing the cap of the expansion tank. Now, loosen the clamp on the cooling hose and before removing the hose, place a container to collect the liquid that will spill out. Once done, reattach the hose and proceed to top up with new coolant; it is advisable to remove the side cap from the tank and when the liquid starts to come out, close it and pause momentarily. Open the other bleed screw to let out all the air. Now close it and start the engine to check for proper operation.
