BTW, if you think there's air in your cooling system, you could do the following to take it out.

Find the bleeding valve (easily accesible under your hood) which is usually located at the top of a thick black hose near the radiator.
Get a wrench that will unscrew the valve.
Fill the coolant reservoir to the FULL level if needed.
Drive the car until it heats up to the MID or more.
Park it but don't let it cool down.
Open the valve slightly until a stream of (green) liquid pours out. Don't worry if it gets on any parts (it's harmless).
Close the valve and let car cool for a bit.
Test drive it!


I had the same problem and I didn't know why I kept getting air in the system. Now I do this once a month during the summer and I get by with my 95 eagle vision.
