Heating up in traffic - cooling system questions

[Luke_M]

How did you get the air out that was on the upper passenger side where the temp switch is? I've bled and bled since I thought that was a problem previously but maybe I need to do something different?

I simply kept the switch out of the radiator until it started to spew out coolant. Not ideal and you better be fast and be ready to get burned. A glove soaked in cold water helps some haha

Despite the hillbilly method it worked a lot better afterwards.

I just bought the coolant purge system from ECS to properly purge the coolant system.

That's probably a good way to go. I really need to get one of those.

I tried to rebleed many times, and tried taking out the temp sender and coolant came out immediately. I don't think i have air. Seems the fan refuses to run on high even though wires and relays/fuses are good. Not sure what the problem is but I have jumpered the temp switch connector so fan runs on high always. Working well and staying constantly cool now
