2009 4.8i coolant bleed procedure doesn't work
 
I can't get the ignition procedure to start the bleed procedure on my 09 with 4.8i engine. Looked at multiple posts but just doesn't work. Started engine and get bleed fluid visible in reservoir. Is there something about the 09 that I'm missing.

Anybody?
 
Doesn't anybody have an 09 4.8i that has done this? Why no fluid flow when I try to initiate the electronic bleed?

Just not many DIYers have gotten to this point yet, I am guessing! Any similarities to E53? Ask over there?

Thanks for the video link but I've seen it. It's not the 4.8i engine though. I know it should be the same but can't figure out why it won't work. Car is fine otherwise.

I don't think you have to start the engine in the x5.

I have it in one of my DIY's.

Ok, here is the link. In our cars you do not have to press the accelerator. The procedure starts automatically once fan speed and temp are correct.
