MGF & MG TF Owners Forum - Jiggle Valve design feature with the PRT - The-T-Bar
December 31, 2024 - The floating valve giggle system located at the engine close to the thermostat is intended to pass any entrained air to the expansion tank. The ball then floats in the coolant before sealing with minimal flow (if any) passing through it.

Jiggle Valve??
So, after an explotion and the expantion cap goes south it turns out that the cause was a Jiggle Valve that broke off and it was full of lime. So, the Jiggle Valve for some reason reason leads most of the water via the engine (from the radiator) and some via a strange little valve up to the... More on forums.mg-rover.org

May 22, 2010 - As above. The jiggle valves are there to allow the air to escape during filling and then shut off the flow of coolant when the air has gone. They prevent the header tank from becoming part of the cooling circuit during warm up and so improve ...

Jiggle Valve?? | MG-Rover.org Forums
February 23, 2011 - It's actually a stainless steel ball trapped in a cage through which coolant returns to the block. As water is incompressible, it lifts the ball and stops flow through the small bore hose to the header tank.

Jiggle valve removal | MG-Rover.org Forums
November 19, 2020 - It is designed to allow gases trapped in the top of the head to vent safely to the expansion tank. Removing it will simply allow coolant to constantly discharge from the head to the expansion tank.

The Cooling System
"Any excess of coolant created by heat expansion is returned to the expansion tank via the bleed line. A jiggle valve fitted at the start of the bleed line, prevents pressure build-up in the expansion tank by regulating the amount of returning coolant.

MGF & MG TF Owners Forum - More coolant woes, will it ever end? - The-T-Bar
August 21, 2014 - This auto bleed valve (or jiggle valve) is situated in the inlet manifold flange which consists of an orifice with a nylon ball, the flow is restricted at this point by the ball which allows a small amount of coolant to flow up to the expansion tank.

Thermostat and jiggle valve nightmare - MG-Rover.org Forums
This serves to seal the outlet to stop too much coolant returning to the expansion tank but allow air to pass through. Mine was covered in greasy gunk and was sticking so it needed cleaning. On reassembly, the ball now rattles around in the housing quite happily.

June 16, 2023 - The jiggle valve prevents pressure building up in the tank by regulating the amount of returning coolant. I was thinking, how would anyone know if it was flowing all the time anyway, when we are sat driving.
