For my two cents worth, buy the uView. I started by flushing my system with distilled water. While up on stands. And used the burp method to remove air bubbles. Sorry, but it just does not get rid of all the bubbles. It takes a LOT of time driving and burping to get rid of the bubbles this way. The uView gets rid of them during the fill. Or if you have a later leak - as I did - removes the bubbles after it has coolant but is not totally filled.

It is a $100 tool. Costs much less than a replacement water pump (if it get damaged), water resovoir tank (if there is sufficient air in the system it can split the take from too much pressure), and a LOT less than an engine. It's also much cheaper than taking the car to the dealer for a flush. I find it extremely difficult to believe so many prople keep pushing the burp method rather than pay for the tool.
