Car Details:I currently own a honda civic type r EP3 and a 1997 trans am in red
I have recently replaced the antifreeze in my trans am and created an air lock in the system. I have been told they are a pain to sort out. I know there are two bleed valves but I have had no success in getting the water light on my dash to go out. I am worried as when I get stuck in traffic the heat rises considerably. Does anyone know of a how to guide to sort this pRoblem. Thanks in advance on this.

I have in the past had this issue. I took the heater box hose off and filled it first the with the front of the car up as high as possible back filled the motor via the stat and then the rad. Then just leave it running watching for Air bubble's out of the rad cap. A true pain but it has worked for me several times. cheers and best of luck matey. :thumbup:
