cool man thanks for the advice!

NP brotha. Just make sure to have some coolant and distalled water ready and keep some in the X for the next few days just in case any burps don't escape from bleeding...unfortunately it still happens.

Sounds like either way will work. Just topp it off with the bleeder screw open, then dothe heater thing to get the valves open and aux waterpump running, then topp off again, etc. Just take James suggestion and bring a gallon of mix with you in case it gets a hiccup and has to burp. (but if that happens let it cool off a bit before opening cap or it will spray everywhere)

yep just followed TIS worked great was a little paranoid but made it all the way to Tahoe no problem. Engine compartment bone dry no leaks.

Good to be back!

And it only took a month ;)

Haha that's my style. I probably spent more time cleaning than fixing. But hey you can eat off the front of my engine block now. No low coolant messages - going skiing tomorrow ;-)

Hi , every body , I had couple of leaks before which I treat , they are:

1) The upper hose (Driver Side) : Obliged to change hope with the plastic parts. ~ 70USD
2) The radiator level sensor that located on the lower passenger side. ~ 25 USD

The mechanic told that these leaks are common on E53.
