So... I may torch the genie mobile
Radiator broke.
I replaced it last night.
Straight forward install.
There is no valve to open up to release air in the lines.
I tried letting it idle with the rad cap off... let it warm up, thermo open and you would think coolant would flow and air would come out right?
I tried so many ******** times... each time it got better but I can feel air in the lower radiaotr hose to thermostat.
I got it to idle last night (2:30 AM) w/o overheating.... it just sat in the normal range.
So... the woman took it to work today (I'm having the benz inspected at work for lease turn in... and she can't drive the neon in traffic yet) and I get a call... it ******** overheated.
I'm no rocket scientist.... but WTF?!?!?!?!??!?!
I've changed radiators before in multiple cars and this has NEVER happened!
I went on elantra boards... there is no valve to release built up air.
I even tried letting the car idle w/ the heat on.... to allow more flow of coolant.
So, got any suggestions before I torch it?
