Has anyone ever tried this method to bleed all the air out of their WBX.
I take a plastic gallon jug and make a hole one the bottom big enough for
an aquarium air hose to be stuck in. Then I remove the air bleed screw on
the radiator and stick the other end of the air hose in the bleed hole.
Fill the gallon jug with anti/mix and it fills the system up in no time.
Engine does not have to be running. I wouldn't recommend to do this while
the engine is hot. Easiest way to get all the air out. I can't see any
problems to doing it this way and haven't had any problems so far. Hope
this tip helps someone. Aloha, Ed
