Coolant Bleeding Using Brake Bleeder

[wainwrightj]

Can you run the car?

I've always bled coolant with the car idling, check the level it should drop as air bubbles out the system, top up, let it drop, top up, let it drop, eventually it'll stop dropping and you'll know there's no or at least very little air anywhere in the system?

Yeah I just thought the matrix was the highest point to bleed the system so you need a header tank?

I don't have the knowledge to tell you if its wrong or right although I never had a problem with temps after bleeding my system like that and I drove it for months; hard/ sat it traffic/ short trips/ long trips you name it and it was fine
