My car had been running hot, possibly because of trapped air in the cooling system that could prevent the fans from coming on. I’d previously bled my coolant, but I must not have gotten all the air out of the system. I’d seen many owners describe the usefulness of a self-bleeding kit, so I decided I needed one. However, my car was at Ken’s shop during the month of June, and he flushed and refilled the coolant. He was able to get all the air out.
I ordered a self bleeder, but I didn’t get it in time before my car went back to Ken’s shop. I figured I’d try installing it myself.
One of the first steps: Drain the cooling system.
Nope, sorry. The car is running great now, and I want to leave the cooling system alone for 1 to 2 driving seasons. For now, the kit will sit on my garage shelf.
