I just replaced the radiator on my 2004 Jetta TDI following a deer collision. All of the coolant out of the block may have been lost when the lower hose was removed. When I refilled it I was able to add only about 1/2 gallon of the coolant water mix.
My concern is that there is almost certainly air in the cooling passages in the block. I need to know if there is a good way to bleed off the air so that the coolant fills the passages in the block before I start the engine.
Any help would be appreciated.
