Simple answer: YYYEEESSSS Run it till good & warmed up, driving up and down some hills will help. Leave it ideling, Remove the front grill (turn the 'screws' 90 degrees only) and take your 13mm wrench and open the bleed bolt at the left top of the rad. listen for the hhhhiiiiiissssssss and when the coolant starts exiting, screw the bolt back in, tight but not garilla tight. I do this every 100 kms till I get no more air. Keep an eye on the overflow tank. M __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/ |
