run the car till got, take the cap off with the use of rags, becareful coolant is hot, when all the air come out take the cap off and leave it off. the air will find its way out of the system through the opening you supplied.

fill up when the car is cool.

you can also run the car with the cap off. wait till the thurmostat opens it will drop the coolant level just add to it and run till all air bubbles are removed

take off the bottom hose while the car is on and put water threw the top of the radiator rev the engine so that the water can come out the bottom if u dont see any water come out its clogged but if it does come out alot normally then ur good cause u bleeded the radiator at the same time

you make no sense. the waterpump pumps water to the top of the radiator, so by disconnecting the bottom hose and revving the engine while pouring water in to the radiator is making the engine over heat while you trying to flush the system.

i hope you dont do this in real life.

this man speaks the truth chekc out what he says
