I understand that the coolant should be at the Cold/Kalt mark when the engine is cold. But the instructions for "Bleeding" tells one to fill until coolant leaks out of bleeding screw, which would happen when we fill up to the top. After the bleeding is done, does the level actually go to the "Cold/Kalt" mark after we run the engine for a while? Or do we have to remove some coolant to reduce the level to the Kalt mark? In other words, "To the top" while bleeding is actually equivalent to the "Kalt/Cold mark" when the engine's cold? Thank you in advance for any advice.. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
