Reservoir coolant leak, new cap

[Slate 01]

You need to open the little spring valve on the coolant tank. Leave it up for a day of driving and the trapped air will bleed out . Drive into the garage, close the spring thing and You should be good to go. Take a look in the trunk (in oil and coolant cap area) and you will see the spring valve thing that I mention. Hope that helps. I had the same problem and this totally cured the problem.

Interesting technique - thanks for sharing.
I wonder how often the tank or cap are needlessly replaced because of the air bleeding issue being overlooked?

Thanks guys... The mechanic cancel my appointment today, This morning I followed a link a member have sent to me about pull the valve up and run the car for few days maybe there is air in the system! I pup up with distilled water! It seems almost good, after driving it I saw a small water from the tank but not a lot than before, maybe need a bit air purge again.
Happy to follow you guys..

I have a question... After driving with valve up to purge the air do I have to put the Valve off when I park? Or do I have to leave it like that until no coolant leaking? Because every driving I put down the D. Thanks
