Aftermarket Part
Aftermarket: Quality alternative. This is a quality alternative, designed to fit and function like the original part, often at a more competitive price.
Air Bleed Valve is fitted to the engine cooling system to release air trapped in the coolant circuit.

Opened during filling and bleeding, the valve lets trapped air escape as coolant is added, so the circuit fills completely and air locks that would impair circulation are avoided. Fitted to the 4.4L V8 petrol engine.

Frequently asked questions

What does the LR027661 air bleed valve do?
The LR027661 air bleed valve lets trapped air escape from the engine cooling system on the 4.4 V8 petrol Discovery 3 and Range Rover Sport. Bleeding air during a coolant fill prevents air pockets that cause hot spots and poor heater performance. It sits in the cooling pipework.
Which engines does this cooling air bleed valve fit?
This air bleed valve fits the Discovery 3 2005-2009 and Range Rover Sport 2005-2009 (L320) with the AJ 4.4 V8 EFI petrol engine only. It doesn't fit diesel models or the 4.2 supercharged V8. Confirm your engine before ordering, as the cooling layout differs between variants.
What happens if the cooling system isn't bled properly?
If air isn't bled from the cooling system on the 4.4 V8 petrol Discovery 3 or Range Rover Sport, trapped air can cause the engine to overheat, give erratic temperature readings, and leave the heater blowing cold. A working air bleed valve makes purging air during a refill straightforward.
