Coolant bleeding

[Niknak]

If you’ve only changed the bottle you should be ok to just top it to the right level now

Only tend to get air pockets potentially if the system has been partially or fully drained

What did you tip the system up with ? As the coolant needs to be at a protection of -26c

If you’ve driven it around and the level has stabilised and fan cuts in and no overheating you will be ok for bleeding

Hello today my mechanic checked EGR cooler and it has a crack on it (he checked with pressure test). I have to test it but i think this was a problem. The cooler cost me 400€.
