Coolant bleeding — removing air after repair

Description

After coolant system repair the coolant doesn't circulate — the fluid sits still when the procedure is started in Service Mode. The computer temperature climbs to 80-90°C. The cause is an air pocket.

Solution

1. The nose of the car must be raised (jack or ramp) — air goes up and out.
2. Run the air bleed procedure via Service Mode.
3. Watch the temperature — stop at 80°C, let it cool, repeat.
4. Several bleeding cycles may be required.
5. Don't forget to top up coolant after the procedure.
