That's very strange as I would have thought they were the same.
I wonder why?
By the way is the underside of your T-Bolt clamp wearing a hole in the flexi tubing?

Yes, thank you for the photos, My TD4 is slightly different as well. Maybe because its 2001 built. It defo hasnt got a 2nd bleed screw of that nature.
On the plus side I have bled the one bleed screw each day now since I was last on and I think the heater is back to normal. I will know better when I drive my normal journey back to work tomorrow. Will llet you guys know.
Thanks
Nick.

latest update:
drove to work and back today, about 14 miles each way. Tested the heater on full after the temp gauge had reached its normal reading position. The windscreen vent was just about luke warm when I got to work. I tested the side vents and footwell on the way back and they were constantly coolish for some reason. I guess that means there must be air in the system so I will continue to bleed from the cap I can see and at the w'kend will have a go at removing the small pipe from the expansion tank and let the coolant flow out while topping it up. Unless anyone has any other ideas (apart from dont do your own maintenance!!!!)
Thanks

Ear Yugo - sorry, Here you go.
Apologies for the delay in getting the pics.
This is for the folks who couldn't find the 2nd bleed-screw on a TD4's M47R engine.
As said - it's on the cooler for the EGR exhaust feed-pipe.

The 2nd bleed screw shown is on the exhaust gas cooler. Only the TD4 auto has the exhaust cooler. So only the auto has the second bleed screw. The manual TD4 has a much simpler cooling system. The auto box has an extra cooler, so requires a second bleed screw.

50% mix of OAT coolant concentrate and 50% distilled water. Tap water is ok of your water is soft. If you live in a hard water area, avoid using it. If you have a condenser tumble dryer. The water that fills the dryer tank is distilled
Otherwise distilled water is cheap at most motor factors.

Wrongee - there are 2 bleed screws on an M47R - the less obvious one is on the cooling jacket on the exhaust ducting to the EGR if you liik from the battery side you can see it under the edge of the engine cover - the same type of screw that's on the heater pipe.

Just for the record (for people like me finding this thread years later) this is apparently only true of the auomatic model, the manual just has the heater hose bleed screw.

Any suggestions on the coolant type?
Just about to to put a in line thermostat so it makes sense to change fluid
Thanks

OAT with a 50% mix with soft or distilled water.
