[QUOTE="LargeOrangeFont, post: 7167187, member: 22835"] Thanks! To answer your question, here are a couple tips to get it burped fast. Make sure you have the burp plug in the crossover tube loose before you start any cooling system work. It also helps to have the car on level ground when you fill it with coolant. When you are done with the work and ready to refill, have both the cap and the plug off. Fill from the reservoir until it is at the cold full level. Put on the cap at this point. Continue filling from the burp plug until the crossover tube is full. Then put in the burp plug. the burp plug only need to be FINGER TIGHT, or slightly more. The car should be filled enough to drive with out over heating. You may still have a small air bubble in the system. Go for a drive to get the thermostat to cycle. When the car cools back down, check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it lower than where you filled it, you probably had an air bubble. Remove the burp plug, and if the water is not at or very close to the top of the crossover tube, top it off and replace the plug finger tight. [/QUOTE]
