Just playing :-)
There are 2 ways of doing this.
Step One in both.
Fill the radiator & overflow/coolant reservoir with the same 50/50 mixture, and leave the cap off.
Leave the radiator cap off, turn the engine on and let it run until the radiator "burps": You will see the coolant level drop and may see or hear a large air bubble come to the top as the system burps.
The other way is the same but you also squeeze the upper and lower radiator hose's
*** Use Caution Beware the Fan ***
Hope This Helps.
If this is for an S-Series, you don't have to, The system has a deairiation line and does it on its own.
The mechanic at the shop indicated that there was no bleed screw on the 200 Ford Explorer. This problem was resolved by starting the car (not driving it) and allowing it to run a little. The machanic did advise us to not allow the car to overheat.
You need to burp the radiator and cooling system.
It should have a bleeder screw on top of the thermostat housing.
The cooling system on a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT can be burped by gently squeezing the upper radiator hose. Keep topping the overflow tank until the air is purged.
burp the water system that may help
Locate the plug on the bottom of the radiator to drain it. Put some radiator cleaner in and drain it again.
You carefully remove the top coolant hose to the heater, not totally off, just enough so air can get out.
Remove coolant cap, allow engine to get to operating temperature, turn on heater full blast and patiently wait for air to escape system.
pop the radiater cap off and let the van engine run for 30 minutes. this will burp out any air in the cooling system and your engine will not overheat then. afterwards, fill the radiater back up as needed.
you need to burp the cooling system
There is no short cut or fast way to do this. The dash has to come out to access the heater box and replace the core. So the steps in replacing the heater core are to disconnect the heater hoses, remove the dash, to access the heater core cover on the front of the heater case and replace the core. Reassembly is in the reverse order as disassembly. Fill the cooling system with new coolant, and burp the air form the cooling system. There is no short cut or fast way to do this.
