Default RE: Burping the cooling sys

take your radiator cap off of the radiator, start the car and let it run a few minutes, as the car warms the coolant will begin to cycle, you can see it with the naked eye(dont get too close and wears glasses), let it run for a few sec, continue to fill until full up belwo the neck, You can squeeze the hose that comes form the thermostat housing to the radiator to aide in working out the bubbles(upper hose) you may need to squeeze the lower hose that attaches to the bottom of the radiator also, after a few minutes and you feel all the air it out, put the cap on and shut the car off. There are a lot of tech articles online with pictures, try a search for Radiator flushing techniques. Good Luck
