Re: Bleeding the Cooling System?

Scott,

Are you sure the thermostat isn't stuck closed.  I would have expected
the level to drop quite a bit after running the engine until the
temperature exceeded normal.  It certainly does on my car.

What I do is fill the radiator, then run the car until it's warm.
Generally when the thermostat opens, the swirling inside the radiator
gets more violent and the level drops rapidly.  I just keep adding
coolant until the level stops dropping.
