Bleeding the system

is pretty easy to bleed air out of the system, park at the steepest incline you can find in your area. then just top it off to full, idle at 3000~ rpm for couple of minutes. let it go. let it cool off a bit, then do the same thing again.

after that, check and see if it has pressure (by removing the cap, remember, cover it with a piece of cloth b4 u do so in case the water splash around, u will not get burn)

I did NOT quite understood how to blled air from my system?
When U mentioned to top it off, u meant like full at the resrevoir?
I do this all the time, or it has a "top full line"?
Tks

there is a 'F' on the side of the coolant tank.

I think My Cooling Fan #2 is running slower than it should, when its turning I can see the blur, and when I turn it with my hand, it feels kinda hard, just not as smooth as the Fan #1.maybe I should get a multimeter to test it.

when you were at Wayne Mazda, did you just tell them that "oh, my fan is broken" or what ?

Old reply but I just told them I had visually and manually inspected my radiator fans and one was not turning at will.

I replaced my cooling fan motor #2 myself (the driver side one)

the other one seems to be working fine. I might replace that motor too just for the HELL of it :) maybe after spring :)
