I find it interesting that they say to do this for the WBX but not the
diesel.  I wonder what the big difference is?  Granted, the diesel has a
somewhat simpler cooling system, but the overall physics of the problem
seem like they'd be the same.

The couple of times I've bled my diesel it's been easy...none of the
jacking and hour-long rituals I hear about from WBX folks.
