OK, I've searched, I need to know how to bleed the air out of the radiator lines on my xB its an 06.

 

What did you do? Fill the radiator until it is full then start the car. As the coolant circulates it will push the air out. just make sure you keep it topped off.

 

ok I'm putting my killer glass in and I wanted to know how to bleed it, wasn't sure, so start it with the cap off?

 

yeah,make sure you engine is cold when you start.

 

I will, I'll do it on my lunch break tomarrow

 

Cool

 

how much anti freeze do you think I'm going to loose by doing this?

 

Not sure but just buy a new gallon of 50/50 and you should be set.

 

Good god don't buy 50/50. Buy regular unmixed antifreeze and the mix it 50/50 for use. When you buy premixed here it costs nearly 50% more than the non premixed. So for 50% more cash you get 50% less antifreeze. The added water in the premix or from my faucet is pretty dam cheap everywhere I am pretty sure.

 

I agree, the only reason I said 50/50 was b/c he's doing it on his lunch break and he would have to fool with mixing. It is a more expensive alternative.

 

well I was told I wouldn't have to let out much, and I would like to try and just catch it all and reuse whats in there (toyota factory fluid is red, my led for my killer glass is red)

 

I wouldn't try that. You are best, if you feel that way, to just go to the dealer and get some more.

 

I wouldn't try that, it would probably hard to do and it would be hard to keep it clean. You are best, if you feel that way, to just go to the dealer and get some more. Now that will cost you.

 

yea I was afraid of that looks like I'll be installing it thursday then

 

Wgy Thurs?

 

Why Thurs?

 

because I'll have to order the fluid I could do it tomarrow, just not sure, I found it cheaper to get the hose through the dealer ($10 vs 15 at the parts store) so the fluid shouldn't be $10 either

 

Surely the dealer will have coolant in stock. They use it everyday.

 

yea they will, they just didn't have the hose, had to wait till today for that

 

Why do you need a hose? Why aren't you using your existing hose?
