Gatsby Report post Posted November 5, 2013 I've seen the flush walk through on the 04 model that has been posted around, but does anyone know how to bleed out the air in the LP models? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted November 5, 2013 Why would that be required? Just curious because in almost 7 years of ownership I haven't had to change it in any of the cars, perhaps my dealer changed it, is it season dependent? I am not a DIY guy, I can't imagine being more than 1 hour job for a mechanic, less than $200 in labour, I would happily pay and watch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djantlive Report post Posted November 5, 2013 it's good for at least 5 years. modern coolant are good for every 5 years if not more. the procedure should be very similar between LP and pre LP. frankly, it's not due for at least another 2-3 years at the earliest. the coolant is very resistent to heat, evaporation. two factors for coolant wear.

The air bleedout would be required if someone drained out fluid from somewhere, capped off the drain and refilled. Or anything else that would lead to air being caught somewhere in the lines, like replacing a coolant line, radiator, plug, etc. For extra credit, air in coolant lines it would cause your car to overheat and air in brake lines would cause spongy brakes.
