Parked the vehicle with the front end poiting upwards slightly (ie on a small hill or on your ramps) to aid in bleeding air out of the system Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56367-help-how-to-put-new-coolant-in/#findComment-854956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
