Default right?


car was cold, took the radiator cap off put a funnel in the hole, turned on the car and put the heater on full blast.

squeezed top and bottom radiator hose, bubbles would rise to the top in the funnel and just "pop" or go back in, is that what its supposed to do? it started to get a lil low so i re-filled it to the top. did it till there was minimal to no bubbles left, it got to normal operating temp but the fan didnt turn on. both radiator hose's were both still cold/luke warm is that right?

there's a air bubble bleed valve located near the themostat, use that instead of messing with the radiator.


loss the bleed valve until you see little bit of water starting to leak out, you do not have to take the whole thing off, the valve have a bore to bleed out air, then all you need to do is pour in coolant/water in the rad, keep doing that until you see a health size of coolant start running off the bleed valve(bubble's clear form the system), tighten the bleed valve and you're golden
