Re: [DMCForum] Bleeding Air From Cooling System

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

Depends how much air is in the there ;)

Actually, if the level of water is too low, the bleeder may never spit
water.  If the car is hot, the water will continue to boil off with the
escape route until it cools or you close the bleeder.  It will look like
you are "letting air out" when you're really just letting vaporized water
out.  

About the trapped air though, you should check it the next couple times
you go out to make sure it's all out.  Sometimes air lurks in the system
for a little while depending on how&why the air got in there.
