Turn the heat to full. This takes some of the heat out of the coolant, and helps to keep the car from overheating during this process.

Pull off the rad cap.

Start her up.

The car will work the bubble out itself as the coolant flows. Have coolant mix on hand to top things up as the bubbles burst and the level drops.

This can take 20 minutes. Keep at it until you see no more bubbles.

Replace rad cap, and you should be good.



Heater is on from the get go. it ran for a good 20-30 min last nite and still got into the red. i had bubbles come out, and at one point the lower hose on the reservoir had what appeared to be steam coming up through it and into the tank (it was moving fast) and was getting steam through the top of the tank(cap off) then it started to burp loud and hard so i shut it off. waited about 3 min and looked at the tank and all the fluid went into the radiator/engine. filled it up and started it up again and it still got into the red after a little bit. just lost because i know its not this hard to fix this, just stumped. I hope its not a WP, and it does seem to be working fine, but i guess i wouldnt know until i took it off and checked it.

thanks for the suggestions, will try them when i get home in a couple hours.
