[urq] coolant bleeding

[Bill Bennett]

and correct, though,,, make sure the heater valve is set to full heat, and
umm, put the three screws back in after you reinstall the reservoir(fancy
French word for container, sheet ask George W, those frenchies don't even
have a word for entrepreneur) after the burping event. I would recommend
filling it to the top, let it push out the excess unless you have a cat
thang or a dawg near your URQ. Bestus Regardus (fancy Latin close thang)
