Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 radiator bleed screw

[Rui Gigante (rui.gigante]

James,

If the bleed hole is in fact blocked, personally I would consider removing
the radiator and return it to the shop.
Another possibility is if you don't have enough coolant in the system to
reach the top of the radiator, but I guess you must have checked that!
Are you sure the thermostat is opening?
