Let me add--this is for topping off only.  You fill from the back!

I used a wash bottle (squeezable plastic bottle with a little fill tip on
the end--laboratory stuff).  Works great.  Can also be used to suck out
coolant if necessary.  I pulled enough out of the pressure tank to add my
Water-wetter.

                                                                  Jay

Subject:    Ever fill coolant through BUS DEPOT radiator bleeder hole?

I just installed my new SA Radiator i bought from Bus
Depot. Now Im ready to fill with coolant. I remember
someone saying he filled up radiator with coolant thru
the bleeder screw hole and/or the thermoswitch hole.
Said that this way it gets most of air bubbles out
before the doing the big bleed festival.

Does this work?

shower:)

P.S. this South African VW radiator looks like a
carbon copy of my 84'VW OEM radiator which costs more
than twice as much new.
