These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When you use an air lift vacuum tool is there an over flow pipe in the coolant reservoir that you have to block to stop it building up pressure

POST 5Original post

I replaced the rads on my 2000 and drained the block with the drain screw. I did not pressurize the remainder of the fluid out. I also did not gravity feed the block as most say to do before pulling the vacuum. I just filled the system per the airlift instructions. Just put the rubber stopper in the fill. There is a metal tab that is right behind the cap on the resi that u can lift to release system pressure but u dont mess with it. I did have to top off the system a few times after driving
