So, I had to replace the damn coolant vent line. Now I'm pretty sure there's air in the system. Having heat on, blows cold air. Start driving and it's warm air. Turning off heat in the car, the coolant temp goes up rapidly.

Got the car on inclined driveway plus jacked up front the front, running 20 min and temp goes upto 210, fans come on and it stays at 210. Then spikes to 215, 235, 254. Revving it up I guess speeds up water pump and it goes down a bit, then back up.

Anyone had same issue and successful at bleeding the air out?

Update, I think I got it.

Had to cycle a few times. On incline revved to 3k rpm 30 sec, then shut off car, wait 2 min, do it twice more. Then trove highway until it sucked in all the coolant in the resovoar and said low coolant. Added coolant, now looks good, I think.

I bought a special tool because you're supposed to put the system under a vacuum and then suck in the coolant. Haven't had to do it yet, but I'm sure I'll have to replace a hose eventually.

Could you please post a link to the said tool?

Thanks.

Right, but I needed a right now fix. Am alternative. Most cars need this vacuum tool, but it's also possible without it. Just a pain in the ***. I would say that any reputable shop should have this tool in the shop.
