Bleeding the air out of a system can take a couple of fill ups.

bleeding is a complete pain.

You have to do isfill it up via the expansion tank until full. Then fill up the two resoivors. Start engine warmp up. Then let it cool down. Keep doin this until it is full.

Once it is full start engine and idle between 2200 and 2800rpm for 5 mins. Let cool down and fill up again. That should do it.

Thx
