Just had to change the oil cooler due to stone chip damage and now need to bleed the rad. Found the bleed point on the thermostat housing, bled out air but still getting engine overheating message and no hot air through vents. Please, does anyone know thecorrect bleed procedure. 1.6Hdi 10 plate. Thank you.
