I know about the plastic vent screw on the top radiator hose, but I read in another DIY that there is a second vent screw behind the intercooler that also must be loosen to release the air. Does someone have a photo of this mysterious vent screw? I can't seem to find it.

thanks

 

 

Its in front of the thermostat.

 

wow. thank you so much for the pics. Do you guys normally bleed this vent screw as well as the one on the top radiator hose?

 

I just recently did a flush and didn't bleed this screw. I get a waterfall behind my dash upon startup sometimes, but it goes away shortly. Haven't noticed any overheating so I'll get around to it eventually.

 

My buddy opened both when he flushed/refilled my coolant.

 

Can you elaborate on this "wafterfall" thing that you mentioned?

 

It's sounds just like a rush of water.

 

It is because there is air in the cooling system. You are hearing the air move out of the heater core & the water move back in. You might want to use both of the bleed screws & try to get all the air out.

 

I see. I'll be sure to loosen both vent screws when I do my coolant next week.
