In order to make sure all the air is bled, follow the instructions found here:
http://www.pedrosgarage.com/Site_3/Install_3rd_Radiator_%26_Coolant_System_Bleeding_I nstructions.html
Scroll down half way and you'll see the bleeding instructions.
Also, check your coolant cap and/or any cracks on the reservoir.
That bubble of air got into the system because of a leak.
The most common is the coolant cap.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Just went thru this. Newest model for cap ends in -04. Get the latest cap. Clean out the trunk.bleed the reservoir. While ur cleaning out trunk , pull back carpet and inspect the reservoir. They say it may possibly leak from then level sensor also. Yes some of them crack. After reading most of the threads on this very imformative forum....I was glad mine was just the cap. No problems since I put the new cap on last sat. Btw if u pull up the black plastic under the oil cap and antifreeze reservoir cap u'll notice a hole for fluid drainage. This is also where the pressure bleed valve is. It promptly pours out in front of the passenger rear tire . Found this out by pouring water too quickly into reservoir. Now I know. Now so do u. Hope this helps. Cheers.
