Coolant Filling

[chuckcal31]

Is there a special procedure to filling the coolant in a 2000 Olds Intrigue? I changed it last week when I had to replace the radiator and water pump, but now it acts as if there is air in the lines and it is causing the car to still run hot. Help please!

There is a special procedure. I'm not sure what it is though. There is something about it in the owners' manual. Run a search on google and see what comes up. 3.5 L engine.

there is a air bleeder screw to get the air out.

Do a search here for "bleeder"

AlldataDiy.com has the diagrams for $25 a year.

My alldata intrigue account has lapsed and it's my dad's turn to pay. Or it whoever gets a problem they can't fix first.

I think there is one at the top of the radiator, I've never found one on the engine. Any 3.5 L techs out there? Are there coolant bleeders on the engine? I have a Helm manual, but could never find a picture of engine coolant bleeders.
