Best Answer

When filling a radiator from empty or if you suspect an air lock, you need to bleed the coolant system. On the passenger side of the radiator you will find a bleed point. There is another one on the heater pipes where they enter the bulkhead (firewall) Release both bleed points and fit a length of tube and a small funnel to the filler cap overflow point. Get a small plastic bag and a cable tie and seal the filler aperture.

Start to fill the system via the funnel and when coolant flows from the bleed points

close them. (The radiator will fill first)

When the coolant flowing from heater pipe bleed point is free from air bubbles the system is full. Remove the fill tube and plastic bag and run the engine until the thermostat opens. Check levels and replace the filler cap.
