Subject:Bleeding the Coolant system
From:Eric Unrau
Date:Mon, 11 Mar 2002 19:20:27 -0800

Last week, in an attempt to remove the smell of coolant from my '89
Westy, I:

1) removed the rear heater
2) spliced the coolant hoses together with a copper plumbing elbow
3) removed the bed/bench and cleaned up all of the leaked coolant

So far, so good.  No leaks -> no smell.

Here's my question.  In the process of removing the heater, some coolant
was lost and therefore some air entered the system.  Do I need to bleed
the system?  How would I know if there are any air bubbles trapped in
there??

Thx
