You should not need to burp the radiator. You fill the radiator to overflow, put the cap on and any trapped air will work its way out through the coolant recovery bottle as you go through several heat-cool cycles. If you are finding air in your radiator there is a good chance that you have a head gasket issue. Ask me how I know. --Ken

How do you burp air out of cooling system 2000 Chrysler concord?

To burp the cooling system of a 2000 Chrysler Concorde, start by ensuring the engine is cool and the radiator cap is removed. Fill the radiator with coolant until it reaches the top, then start the engine and let it reach operating temperature while keeping the heater on maximum. Watch for bubbles in the radiator, indicating trapped air escaping, and add more coolant as needed. Once no more bubbles appear and the coolant level stabilizes, replace the radiator cap securely.


Where is the thermostat on a 1998 Subaru Forester?

Thermostat is located on the engine end of the lower (yes, I said lower) radiator hose. The housing is plastic, so work carefully. It would be a good idea to use a genuine Subaru thermostat and rubber O-ring gasket, as this will give the correct temperature. I am surprised your thermostat went bad-- usually the factory Subie thermostats last 10-15 years. To replace thermostat, drain radiator, then remove lower hose at engine end (first green shower), remove the bolts securing the lower hose connector to the engine and remove the connector (second green shower), then pull the thermostat and rubber ring out with pliers (third green shower). Installation is reverse of removal, and there is no gasket on the thermostat cover to speak of-- the O- ring around the thermostat does all the sealing. Remember to refill radiator with care, and use the air "burp" screw mounted on the radiator top, opposite the fill pipe.

It will take a little longer for the cooling system thermostat to open up if the heater fan is on. The heater fan and heater core act like a small radiator and disperses heat energy when in operation.

Why can you not burp?

Sometimes you can't burp because you never did something to do something to burp. If you would like to burp try drinking coke. Could be any any coke. The normal coca cola, diet coke you name it! If it doesn't work try to ask questions on how to burp in lots of different ways. For example How to burp? Or How can I burp? Or How do you burp?
