ohgoon2006 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 hi guys i have decided to change all the rear spheres on the back of my xantia estate to see if that solves my squating problem i have printed of the guide of here which is much appreciated . however it says to bleed the front actuator . now this is where i go wrong as im not sure which bit a bleed and as its all new to me i want to make sure i get it right does anybody have a photo or can assist me . muchas gracias . wes Quote
Johndouglas Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 The bleed screw is a 12mm hex bolt which is behind the front accumulator sphere. Don't remove it - just undo it a bit more than half a turn. Take it right out and the ball and spring will jump out. Quote

kfk Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 The regulator is bolted to the engine between the engine and radiator....it can be recognised by having a sphere attached to it that looks the same as the rear spheres you are changing. The regulator body has a 12mm bolt on it which as the prevoius poster says needs to be loosened by no more than a turn (do not remove the bolt). Start the engine with the bolt loosened and tighten it after about 30 seconds......hopefully that should be bled then. Quote
