It depends on what car it is, the hardest cars what i think to get air lock out are BMW and there are common problems first start with car being on tilt, jack the front end of the car up or park it on a hill this will make the air come out faster, keep the car running and taking any bleed screws out as well fill the water to the top then keep added water if u can try to rev the car to about two and half thousand 2.5k RP it just pushes all the air out with pressure, keep added more water to it until all the bubbles have gone, if there is too much back pressure sounds like a knocking noise then switch the car off and try it after 5-10 mins let the water cool down then repeat it again there should be less pressure, if there are no bubbles tighten the bleed screw wait 5 mins then check that heater is blowing out heat if it is then that a good sign that there no air lock in the in the system if everything goes well tighten the bleed screw keep added water to the tank and keep checking that the heater still giving out heat If all is well and good, that means you have now taken all the air out the system.

What causes a water sloshing sound in the engine bay of a 2000 Impreza?
Hi, this is a common problem with subaru's - you need to get the cooling system pressure bled - i.e there is air in your cooling system.
Ford F350 diesel what caused water is in the oil and oil in the water?
does cooling system hold pressure?
Why does your heater blow warm air then cold air?
You may have air trapped in the cooling system. Remove rad cap, start engine and let it run for 30 minutes with the cap off while you add coolant as needed. That should do it unless you have a cooling system leak.
Can you use tap water as engine coolant in a citreon c3?
No. Ordinary tap water will not protect against freezing or corrosion of the cooling system. If you are diluting antifreeze concentrate (rather than using pre-mixed), only use distilled water in the mix and combine the quantities according to the concentrate instructions. The impurities in tap water will damage the engine and cooling system in time, where as the anti corrosion and anti freeze properties of an OAT antifreeze will enable the cooling system to function for 1000s of KMs
What is the warning indicator for radiator or coolant problems?
What are you asking; what the function of the warning system(s) are or what could be causing it/them to turn on? In general: Most cooling systems only have warning systems for excessive temperatures, i.e temeprature gauge and/or warning lights. Some may have a warning system for low coolant levels in the expansion (header) tank also. In rare cases, there are systems for cooling system pressure and glycol dilution levels. If any one of these systems are active, it indicates either a fault in the cooling system or prehaps in the sender unit and/or warning system itself, i.e. high temp warnings upon a cold start. Signs of cooling systems problems are a regular loss of coolant, high engine operating temps, ineffective cooling fans, pregnant hoses, a hot smelling motor when running, peeling paint on the rad itself etc If you are a little more specific prehaps I can help more. Thanks, CHarlie
Remove airlock from cinquecento cooling system?
how to remove a air lock from a fiat cinquecento sx cooling system
Why is van over heating but heater not warm?
Most likely cause is an airlock in the cooling system
Why would the heat not work after changing head gasket?
More than likely an airlock in the cooling system, bleed the system and should be fixed.
When was Out the Airlock created?
Out the Airlock was created in 2009.
Does a 1999 Dodge Intrepid 2.7 have motor cooling system or not?
Motor cooling system? The engine cooling system consits of the water pump, radiator, hoses, cooling fans, etc.Motor cooling system? The engine cooling system consits of the water pump, radiator, hoses, cooling fans, etc.
Gurgling in pipes after flushing?
Probably due to an airlock in the cold water system (feed pipe).
Which system of the engine does the radiator belongs to?
The cooling system.
What is the average life of a system cooling device?
An average life of a system cooling device is around 10 to 15 years. This is with cont use of the system cooling device, if you do not use the cooling system then you can prolong your cooling system for a couple more years.
Have a 1994 grandam Replaced the theromstate drive for a while then the temp hand goes to overheated stop and wait for it to cool add water and it is fine should I use antifreeze or water?
It is always better to use a water antifreeze mix because of the corrosion inhibitors in the anti freeze. Check that the cooling system hasn't got an airlock after changing the thermostat, make sure thermostat isn't upside down. Often get an airlock in the heating part of the water system, there should be a bleed screw in the engine compartment between the engine and the heater unit. Air locks are a common problem when refilling the cooling system and will lead to overheating as prevents proper circulation.
Why do you need a cooling system in your car?
If there is no cooling system, the engin will overheat.
How do you get an airlock out of a drain?
You may need a soil stack to release the airlock!
