Might need to remove the air intake snorkel to get to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to remove anything to get to it if your arms/hands fit in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run the car up too temp with the coolant reservoir cap off and the heater on and it will bleed itself. Then check the level the next morning. Helps if you pack the car with the front end elevated of jack up the front a couple of inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I changed the coolant I just poured the coolant in the reservoir until full, started the engine and heater full blast then kept topping up until the level didn't move any more. Then the next day top up if needed and you are done. Edited 02/12/11 02:54 AM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
