[V6-12v] Temperature Blinking Icon

[Tom Christiansen]

Cai:

If you didn't bleed the system after bypassing the heater core, you should
probably do so. First remove the reservoir cap. The bleed screw is located
in the hard metal line behind the drivers' side head. There's a plug that
you unscrew with a hex key. Unscrew this 1-2 turns and leave it open until
coolant comes out. Tighten screw to the specified torque (10 Nm I think,
might be wrong). Start engine (still with the coolant reservoir cap off) and
let it run until the fans kick on once. Add coolant to the reservoir as
necessary. Once the rad fans kick in, fill the reservoir to just below the
MAX line. That should take care of it.

The engine is probably fine.
