[urq] coolant bleeding

[James Howard]

Remove the bleed screw in the top of the rad. Remove the 3 screws holding 
the reservoir. Fill the reservoir and lift it up as high as the hoses will 
allow until coolant flows out of the bleed screw hole. Replace the bleed 
screw then lower and replace the reservoir, "adjust" the level in the 
reservoir. Simple as that!

Jim.

I feel really stupid even asking this, but oh well.

What is the best procedure for bleeding the coolant system?  I've always 
just opened (carefully) the reservoir cap after the motor warms up.  Would 
do it several times and add coolant as needed.

But my radiator has a bleeder screw on top.  And recently after a drive 
there seemed to be much "gurgling" in the system after shutdown - much more 
than usual.  So I loosened the bleeder screw and it seemed like there was 
quite a bit of air coming out. I would have thought this would have been 
bled out by now.

Keep in mind I do have a water cooled turbo.

Thoughts?

TIA

Brandon
