92 325i bleeding coolant system

[carolmc]

I replaced a cracked radiator and tried to bleed the coolant system by removing the bleed screw in the overfill tank. I did it twice and ran til all the bubbles seemed to come out but it still overheats. Is there another bleed screw in the engine head or does anyone have any advice on what else needs to be done?

Thanks

There is a bleeding screw in the thermostat housing - that's the one you need to be tinkering with.

there is not a bleeding screw on the thermostat housing. open the bleeder screw on the tank and fill slowly untill coolant comes out of the hole

Have you read the procedre in the Tech Info Center?

Yes, I did finally get all the air bleeded out. It just took several tries and had to rev the engine and put on the heater for a long time.. Thank you for your help.

Revving and heater on are key.
