Hello all, my uncle replaced the radiator in my Q45 before I bought it from him but he never bled the cooling system after installing it. Is there a bleeder valve on the motor that I can bleed the air from or do I have to do it another way? I know on some other cars like my Acura Legend, there is a bleeder valve for this right by the upper radiator hose but I couldn't seem to find one on the Q. Thanks in advance!

Lisle tools makes a funnel that connects to the filler neck which you fill with coolant to bleed the system. I bought one and it works well, just make sure you put this on when the car is cold then warm up the car and turn the temp on the climate control up.

This is definitely the safest way to bleed the system so I think its worth the $20-25 dollars.

You don't need a special bleeder tool. Just top it off at the filler neck (the cap you can see right in front of the plenum) after the car has cooled down. Check it a couple of days in a row and you should be good.
