thanx auditech

 

9/8 as in nine eights? it's a fraction lol sry for the confusion

 

Oh ok i just wanted to make sure you weren't crazy. You should have worded it 9/8 of a gallon, or 1.15 gallons.

 

oh lol i thought u meant 9 or 8 gallons[&:]

ok so i went back out and the coolant was down a bit more. right now there's 2.5L of g-12 and almost 2.5L of water, which is ~1.3 gal. i figure thats my capacity, but i'll check again in the morning. i really hope this solves the problem so i can move on to getting the clutch and fmic installed

 

haha i may be dumb and crazy cuz i eat alot of rice but im not that dumb and crazy lol

 

It's spelled "scheisse", by the way...

Or, "scheiße" if you want to be really technical.

 

You need to bleed the air out while you are filling it.

loosen the right side hose going into the heater core to expose the small hole.
Raise the expansion tank up higher than where the holes are. Fill tank until coolant comes out of the hole you exposed. Put tank back, and fill until proper level, if not correct already. This gets all the air out of the system.

 

^^does that have to be done?? cuz mine ended up taking exactly 5L and i've been driving it around town for the past 2 days and everything is working perfect.

 

turn on ur heat ans see if it works. if it doesn't, it needs to be bled properly

 

I just reved my engine a lot to build pressure in the system to push the air out. Of course there is a more correct and technical way to do it, as ace said. Any small air bubbles will work their way out over time.
