[QUOTE="jarance, post: 387426, member: 21"] This is how my workshop does to bleed the air from the radiator. 1. Ensure engine is cool down. 2. Remove radiator cap. 3. remove bleeder plug/cap (as shown in pic below). 4. prepare a cut-out plastic bottle (half of it) - mineral water bottle will do. 5. Use the cut-out plastic bottle to cover the bleeder hole to prevent water from splashing. 6. prepare a running water from hose. 7. Start engine and pour or divert running water into the radiator. 8. rev engine and flushing filling for a minute or so. 9. water should be seen splashing out from the bleeder cap. 10. stop engine and install back the bleeder cap. 11. check water coolant level and top up if necessary 12. install back radiator cap. 13. start engine and warm up for about 2 minute and check for leak.
