Simple answer:   YYYEEESSSS

Run it till good & warmed up,  driving up and down
some hills will help.   Leave it ideling, Remove the
front grill (turn the 'screws' 90 degrees only) and
take your 13mm wrench and open the bleed bolt at the
left top of the rad.  listen for the
hhhhiiiiiissssssss and when the coolant starts
exiting, screw the bolt back in, tight but not garilla
tight.   I do this every 100 kms till I get no more
air. Keep an eye on the overflow tank. M
