Default How to bleed cooling system please help

I have searched everywhere for this. Anyone know how to do it. I'm running hot if I idle for 10 minutesandit starts to climb up a tick. Level is good, tstat recently replaced when I had the timing belt done. Any ideas?

If so, the dealer should replace that for free. The extra heat from 1 tick cracked my reservoir tank and now it leaks. I'm waiting for that to get in before I go to the dealer. I don't want them to have an excuse. How about the bleeding procedure. Isn't it required?

Drivers side, next to the throttle body. Down there is a hax nut, that is the bleader.

i guess i don't see a reason you need to bleed it. is it due for a change or is the color a rusty brown and you can see rust particles in the mix? coolant doesn't just go bad, but if you want to make sure you have a good water/antifreeze mix, get a coolant meter from a parts store for 6 bucks and check. no sense in wasting even more money on more antifreeze if the coolant isn't the problem.

If he just had the TB job done, then they flushed the system & there may be an air bubble in the system causing the car to run a little hot.
