[QUOTE="ty.thompson1981, post: 10839794, member: 125268"] i agree with SVT CAMR on his method to filling. I had to learn the hard way that you have wait for ALL the bubbles to be out of the system lol. I replaced my radiator and filled it just the way he said but I guess I didn't get all the air bubbles out and put the plug back in the cross over tube and went hauling ass down the turnpike. Big mistake! I got up to 80 and the temperature gauge shot up like a tachometer! I shut the car down and coasted into the breakdown lane. I pulled the plug out of the cross over tube after letting it cool down and to my surprise there was not much coolant left in it lol. Luckily I took my coolant jug with me and I filled it up with the car running until ALL the bubbles and burping went away. Plugged it up, and took back off. Never had an overheating problem after that. These cars absolutely do not like air in the cooling system! Make sure you are patient and visibly see no more bubbles while you are filling it up. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
