Heater Hose Placement?

Heater Hose Placement?

Postby Durden » Mon May 31, 2010 8:49 am

Hi,
I just bought a 99 Solara SLE (1MZ-FE) with 90k on it. So with help from a friend at work I changed the timming belt and water pump. I also decided to change my heater hoses but I did no pay attention to their postions. I ended up crossing the heater hoses but I'm not to too sure that was right because sometimes I hear coolant slushing in my heater core. However It could also just be air in the coolant. Is there any way to bleed the coolant system on these cars. Any help is greatly appreciated!
PS
Heater does function like normal
Coolant temperture stays right at half way on the gauge
No check engine like is on
And the car has been driven for about 12 miles after the work
Thanks Again

ive always just taken the cap off the radiator (when engine is cold obviously) and then start the engine and let the water pump circulate the fluid and keep it topped off at the radiator. air bubbles should circulate out of the system. careful that the fluid may start rushing back out of the radiator depending on the position of the thermostat. and have your heat on and set all the way to "hot" while doing this.
also for heater hose positions, if nothing else you can find plenty of under hood pics and go from that.
