Bill,

It is my understanding (from this list) that the 2.1 engine is mostly self bleeding when it comes to the cooling system. So I would say you are probably OK - just keeo a close eye on coolant level.

That being said it doesn't mean that folks out there don't bleed the coolant ayatem on a 2.1 - but like I said my understanding is the 2.1 system is designed to kind of take care of itself.

-- Thanks,
