trapped air in the system ?

On the Murena 1.6 you can loosen the thermostat on the top of the engine, to let air out - not sure you have a similar possibility on the Bag, but the point is to make sure the system has no trapped airbubbles.

On my Peugeot 1.9i engine there is in fact a small air-screw on the top of the engine to do just that ... you can call that evolution. :-)

As the air will collect itself in the top of the system, you "just" need to locate a good place where you can loosen a clip or similar, to let the air out. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Oh, can that be the problem =)

Yes, i know, and on my old Peugeot 205 Mi16(converted) i hade 2 "air reles" screws.
It was a smart thing to have, maybe...hmm...someone whit som emadination can comeup whit a place to put at "air reles" screw on a Bagheera/murena, shuld be a lot easyer.
