I'm cautious on what I am about to say as I will knock on wood but I have never bled my rad. I've had my engine pulled out of the car on more then one occasion and have replaced everything from thermostat to coolant bottle which all involve loss of large amounts of coolant and my X has never overheated. I've read on more then one thread that you must bleed your rad everytime you do any of those mentioned tasks as air enters the system. I'm sure you are all exactly correct but I've tried bleeding my system but the hex bolt on the top of the rad doesn't line up nicely with the access hole in the front trunk so my allen key sits on a 45 degree angle and I can't get it to snug in to be able to open the bleed bolt. I've thought about either removing the front grill and seeing if someone could pull the rad forward by hand an inch or so and I could get the allen key into the bleed screw or I've thought about enlarging the access hole a little bit which I'm not very keen on doing.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? I don't know exactly why my rad doesn't line up with the access hole like it should?
