OK, so I took a couple trips last night and have a new question...
What is correct operating temperature range? I'm sitting at about
90-100C even at around 40F outside temp now. Which I guess might be OK,
I'm just not used to seeing it quite that high and wondering if it will
stay at that level once it gets warmer out.
Are the temps safe all the way up to 120C?

I know others have a different proceedure but back before I knew better on my
300TD I filled just through the bottle but I left the overflow thing on the top
of the radiator disconnected and had EXCELLENT results. I filled slowly with
the car off and once I had as much as I thought I could fit in I started the
engine and let it warm up. Heater on of course. Then as it ran the bottle would
empty and I'd keep topping it up. After maybe 5 minutes it was pretty well
burped. I put the overflow hose back on and took it for a short ride with the
cap loose. Added one more time, then capped it.
The next couple days I watched and added maybe once more. Worked slick.

Hmm, ok then, whereabouts is the thermostat located? I can probably
find that much in the manual, but here's my bigger question:
What's the proper procedure for filling/bleeding the coolant system?
I'm not used to the radiator cap being on the overflow bottle, and it
doesn't seem like trying to add coolant there (other than occasional
topping off) works too well. I believe last time I disconnected the
upper radiator hose to fill. Is this what you're supposed to do?
Thanks!
