If you mean the AC system, there is only one LEGAL way and that is at a shop with a capture system. If you are talking the Radiator, Jack the vehicle front end up, locate the lower radiator hose and remove it. Have a large catch pan or bucket under the vehicle or something to catch the fluid or it will run all over the ground. Depending on where you actually live this may be a problem, in Germany for instance this is illegal due to Antifreeze in the system.

    Ok, that clarifies what the problem actually is. You need to run the vehicle with the radiator cap off so you can add fluid as needed. The vehicle needs to warm up so the Thermostat will open. Until that opens there is no water flowing. Now, once it is warmed up you can release the clamp on the lower radiator hose that goes into the firewall so that it leaks a little and allow the air bubble to be pushed through. Now it may not be an air bubble problem. On the upper line going to the Firewall and Radiator core there is a control valve that has to open to allow the water to flow into the core from the engine. Before you start the bleeding process test that with a vacuum pump, it is normally vacuum operated. Make sure it is open or no matter how hard you try your never going to get hot water to that core. If it is sticking or not opening replace that. If it functions with a Vacuum pump but doesn't function when you have the Temperature select set to heat then you have another problem somewhere in the controller or motor interfering with that vacuum. Also, if you select Defrost, the AC compressor activates as well which will cause the system to cool from the AC system.

2007. How can I bleed the cooling system?

Hello. To 'bleed' your Buick's coolant system, open the 'bleeder valve' then start engine. Let engine 'warm' to operating temperature. Add coolant/water to reservoir tank if needed as system 'bleeds'. As coolant 'bleeds', 'forcefully' out of 'bleeder valve'; close and tighten it AND keep coolant/water level at FULL/HOT. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Engine or hydraulic system overheating clearpix.gif clearpix.gif clearpix.gif clearpix.gif clearpix.gif clearpix.gif Coolant system low on coolant in 6020, 6030, 6030 Premium, 7020, 7030 and
7030 Premium Series Tractors.

]clearpix.gif//-->
Symptoms
After several hours of work, warning system indicates hot engine coolant or hot hydraulic oil.
Situation or Problem
Coolant level in reservoir is between the "MIN" and "MAX" range but engine or hydraulic system is overheating.
Summary
Air is entering cooling system, hindering coolant flow. Check coolant level. Fill to the "MAX" line on the coolant reservoir.
Bleeding Cooling System:
The bleed valve (see Operator's Manual for location) on the radiator must be closed when the tractor is operating. Open the valve when coolant is drained or filled. If the bleed valve is left open, coolant will internally bypass between the low temperature circuit and engine high temperature circuit causing overheating. When bleeding the system, open the bleed valve and run the engine with no load for 5 minutes at 1700 rpm. Then shut engine off for 5 to 10 minutes before closing the drain valve. Check the coolant level. If level is below the "MAX" fill line, repeat this procedure until coolant level stays at the "MAX" line.

2003 lincoln aviator water boiling and car overheating

Check to coolant level after it cools off and check to see if coolant-water mixture is correct. If those are ok. You could have to much air in the coolant system. Most radiator caps will automatically vent the air out of the coolant system. It could be as simple as a coolant cap that gone bad. Or you may have a air bleed valve on it and you need to bleed the air out manually. To bleed it you will have to crank engine and get it warm. Touch top radiator hose to see if its warm. If not then the thermostat has not opened yet. That could also be the problem. After it gets warm open the bleeder valve if equipped and bleed all the air out. Once the steam and hot air from the valve starts to be gone and pure coolant coming from the valve. You have successfully bleed the coolant system. Cool engine back off and check coolant level once more. Hope this helps.

I have a 1994 Dodge Ram that keeps overheating.

have you replaced the thermostat , checked for leaks , etc. ? If so, when adding coolant did you bleed the system ? The system has to be bled of air bubbles . Almost all cars have a bleeding screw right at the thermostat housing. It is a regular screwdriver screw. you must bleed the cooling system after adding coolant . If you can't find a bleeding screw, get some thick gloves so you won't burn your hands . Turn the radiator cap until you hear air hiss out. Let it bleed until only coolant wants to come out into the reservoir. The car must be running to operating temperature when you blled the system.
