air bubble in the coolant line
anybody know how to get rid of an air bubble in the coolant line without flushing the whole system?
i heard that i can take the radiator cap off and let the car idle. does that work?

I dunno about not getting it flushed man. Try what ever comes to hand but a radiator flush never hurts.

Take the cap off the radiator, wrap the mouth w/ lots of paper towell (make like a bowl around it), and start the engine.
On startup have someone or you watch it ...the coolant will 'burp' and the air should be cleared. After a few mins just shut it down and then just refill via the reservoir. You can do this a few times, but usually once should be enough. If that doesnt help then youre going to have to try something else. (it always works for me) |

filling the radiator too quickly usually is the culprit
