Subject: Seeking Coolant bleeding web site

So as not to burden the list again with coolant questions I went to the
archives. There is so much there that it was hard for me to find relevant
questions.

I have been following Malcolm's advice with some success but I am wondering
if there is a procedure on someone's site somewhere that gives directions.
The archives are just too cluttered. I have also checked the Bentley
instructions on pages 19.14 to 19.17 and I figure it has to be less
complicated than the Bentley procedure.

Malcolm's advice duplicated below for those interested.

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
