Michael, The bleed screw on the radiator is actually a bolt that is on the passenger side of the radiator. The original has a groove in it so air and coolant can pas when it's loosened. In a lot of cases the bleeder has been replaced with an actual bolt so it may have to be removed altogether rather than just loosening it with a 13mm wrench.

I took off the grill and can't see it. I replaced my oil cooler hoses and want to bleed the system. I have a blinking red light on the temp gauge about 1 mnute after start up. Idels about 1100 rpm right now, but still cold. hanks, Michael 2.1 91GL 'Gringo' |
