great video! appreciate you posting that, I had a blown hose in a parking
lot today and couldn’t get the radiator to accept coolant, had air in the
system, this helped me get it out. Thanks!

I followed your video, I had the cap off. Turned the car on and had the
heater at max. First I saw cold coolant coming from the top cold for 15
minutes then hot coolant started coming out like hot lava over the
expansion tank on the ground. I waited abut 4 to 5 minutes then I put the
cap on while engine was running . I realized the temperature start heating
up a little bit toward the right pass the center line. I turned off the
engine. The next day I realized that the expansion tank is empty. Then I
filled up and repeated the same procedure. Again the temperature started
riseing after I saw the hot liquid inside the tank when I put the cap on.
Should I repeat the procedure again? The heater was semi warm not at
maximum. We just changed thermostat as well. Is it possible that the
thermostat is bad?

Thanks for posting, I was unclear as to when you put the cap back on
back on expansion tank? once the temp reaches midway point?
