(lift front of car, heater on full, fill bleed screw) seems to be the trickier points.
Air in the coolant shouldn't create white smoke unless the headgasket blew..With air in the system, your temp guage may not be reading hot air pockets. |
Just to clarify, fill the radiator expansion tank via the filler hole NOT the bleed hole. The bleed hole is for air to escape, although you will see coolant flowing out of it once the expansion tank is full. Continue filling until a steady stream of coolant is coming from the BLEED HOLE with no air bubbles.
