Old coolant begins to break down merely because of the conditions within the engine, being heated and cooling down all of the time. And it can become polluted with dirt and rust particles. Eventually this causes damage to the inside of the engine and radiator, it can clog passages causing the engine to overheat, and cause the engine block and radiator to rust badly from the inside out.

I am Trying to bleed air out of a 2000 Chevy impala radiator?
This should happen automatically. Are you losing coolant, is the cooling system leaking somewhere? Have you just changed the coolant? Unless there is a leak, the system should purge by itself.
How do you change the coolant in your 2001 VW GTI?
As far as i am aware, Vdubs don't need to have the coolant changed. And if you do happen to have the coolant changed make sure you only use the red stuff. That crap that says it works for both red and green i wouldn't trust. As i am sure you may know how expensive parts can cost for Vdubs, so i don't think you wanna mess anything up and have to replace it. I have a 01 GTI VR6 and have never changed coolant in it. You just mainly have to make sure it has the proper amount in it.
