[QUOTE="jarance, post: 181946, member: 21"] if you have the coolant coming out when you open the radiator cap, I think you have a more serious problem than the foreman forgetting to bleed the radiator. To bleed the radiator, all you have to do is loosen a black plastic cap located next to the radiator cap. It look like a round plastic cap about the size of a ten sen coin with a "X" mark. Start your engine and rev the engine to about 1 to 2 K rpm. you should see some air bubbles coming out of the cap. Tighten the black cap when you see only water coming out. BTW, I think you should check whether there is any sign of air bubbles when the engine is running with the radiator cap off. (DO it when the engine is cold). If there are sign of bubbles, this is a sign that your engine gasket is blown. Another sign of gasket blown is that you need to top up the radiator water at least once a week. [/QUOTE]
