Close the bleed on the radiator as soon as liquid starts to spill out.Continue filling until liquid emerges from the bleed on the heater's inlet hose, then tighten the bleed.Finish filling until the MAX level on the engine coolant reservoir is reached.Start the engine and run it at idle speed for 2 or 3 minutes.If necessary top up the engine coolant reservoir up to the MAX level.Refit the engine coolant reservoir cap.Accelerate periodically and gradually up to about 4000 rpm.If the fluid in the engine coolant reservoir reaches the MIN mark, undo the cap very carefully and top up to the MAX level, then retighten the cap.Wait until the fan has activated a t least a couple of times.Stop the engine and wait for the fluid to cool down.If necessary, unscrew the reservoir cap and top up to the MAX level.
