Hello,
Tomorrow I plan on changing the thermostat, upper radiator hose and heater hoses. I have added the coolant filter that dieselenthusiast documented on this web site and now I just need to hook up the hoses. I plan on draining some of the coolant out of the radiator in hopes to create less of a mess. When I put the fluid back in, I was planning on removing the radiator cap and adding it in there.
My question: do I need to "burp" the system and if so, how should I do it? My plan was to loosen the temp sensor that goes into the thermostat housing to let some air out. Maybe there is a better way to do this? I'm just worried I'm going to blow a head gasket or something serious like that.
Thank you in advance ::!
