Following replacement of seals on AUA coolant pipe and repair to thermostat housing, got it all reassembled and refilled with the saved coolant.
Let the engine idle for a few minutes to warm up a little, a bit of throttle blipping and set the climate controls to 27°C.
Fan spun up a few times while I was checking for leaks (none so far!)
Nothing but cold air for a while, then finally the hot came through, followed closely by a high temp alarm.
Is this usual?
It occurred to me afterwards that maybe I should have disconnected the small bleed hose from the goldfish bowl to help it purge any air from the system?
