LEAK DOWN NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Its the ONLY way to check for the blown head gasket.

There is a dye you can put in the antifreeze that glows with UV.

Put redline watter wetter in , it will help bleed the air out. I've done it ever since I've owned my Ti and I never have a problem bleeding the system.

There are several good writeups about swapping all the correct parts of the cooling system. Its a maintenance item on these cars.
