A note on bleeding
This may help someone else who is having troubles bleeding
There is a lot less AF loss and very positive indication you are getting air out.
- The screw the T has a slot in it, when you get ready to bleed do not remove the screw simply take out about 2 or 3 turns
- Now lift your expansion tank - cap off
- You will hear the air hissing out keep the tank in the air until the hissing stops and AF flows
- With the tank in the air tighten the screw back down - I can do solo but apparently have longeish arms
- Top up the tank.

this is a good suggestion - many people recommend trying to fill through the bleed hole which is just crazy. Personally I use the following method so that I don’t need to bother lifting the reservoir out of place:
Remove the bleed screw and uncap the reservoir. Then, pull the upper hose out of the molding on the fan shroud. Squeeze the hose with your hand to push air out of the bleed screw, then put your finger on top of the bleed screw and release the hose - the system will suck coolant in from the reservoir. Repeat until coolant is topped up.
