air lock
Drained the system then refilled with anti-freeze and now can't get the air lock out. Any suggestions?

Re: air lock
Have you run it yet? Take the rad cap off, fill the rad, start engine, watch coolant level and fill as necessary. Continue until the fans come on. Top up your overflow tank, put the rad cap back on and go for a drive. Let the engine cool and check the coolant level in the rad again.

Re: air lock
Just run the car normally and keep refilling the reservoir until the coolant no longer disappears. We dont have a bleeder screw, you can also fill thru the upper hose into the engine initially, but to get all the air out you just drive normally and keep the res full.

Re: air lock
Not blowing heat eh? Did you fill from the upper hose into the engine?

Re: air lock
Some say you need to elevate the front end and run/fill it to burp the Subaru H6's.
