and also. . . . REPEAT. . if necessary.
I WOULD CERTAINLY ADD
Check the coolant frequently for a few days and add as the =
level in
the pressure-cap bottle goes does down as the last little air finds its way=
to
the bottle, showing up as low coolant level there.
Personally I never =
have
to bleed them.
Some tricks,
If the radiator is empty, like you just changed it, or had the=
lower hose off :
Fill it as much as you can through the temp sender
hole.
( get's it about half full ).
Sometimes it IS necessary to run the engine and add
coolant with the bleeder on the rad open.
For jobs like replacing the water pump bleeding usually isn't=
needed, in my world anyway.
Take every opportunity to replace some of the anti-freeze / =
water
mixture that comes along. The coolant is usually old and heading =
towards
yucky, and changing even some it really helps.
Be aware that " air leaks in" can occur. The
cooling system does not become " un-bled" unless
:
-their is an external coolant leak,
- coolant consumption through the engine,
-or air leaks in, like a pin=
-hole
leak or seepage at the radiator or heater core/s.
Are you having a symptom that is causing you to want to =
bleed
your cooling system. . . and if so, what might that be, one
wonders.
