Coolant refill after timing belt question(1.8T)....
Hey all you DIY timing belt folks; I have a quick question. I just finished installing the timing belt on my 1.8T. I am about to refill the coolant, and am curious about the best way to bleed the system. I've replaced the thermostat and water pump along with the timing belt. Any info is highly appreciated.
Cheers!

to the left of the brake booster you'll see a corrugated plastic piece
pull that down and expose the heater hoses. pull the left one down until the hole is exposed (don't pull it completely off). then unscrew the coolant tank. With the car on start filling up the coolant. Hold the coolant tank up as high as you can get it and wait for the coolant to bubble out of the hole in the hose. its annoying as hell and helps to have the heat on.
