After fill up the radiator with coolant , need bled air out?
Other question for you MB users,
I have replaced the radiator on my clk500 2005, fill out with coolant ,
and for some reason everytime i start at cold ,is telling me at dash "low coolant"!
and i stop the clk and open the hood ,and the coolant is there ,is not low...
If i open the cap , in the morning with engine cold ,i get a little pressure from opening the cap from expansion tank,is this normal ?
(to mention that i started the car for at least 10 sec- maybe that's why i have that pressure ?)
Will test again,tomorrow with out starting the engine,on cold,to see what will happen.
now,i am curios if is there a need to bled the system?after changing the radiator? or...
thanks for any advice on this!
regards.

Patience! Here is the "official" method:

But I would guess you don't have or want to invest in that system, so what you can do is squeeze the large radiator hoses (when cool!) to "burp" the air out. You may need to do this several time to get all the air purged.

Hello friend,
I have try in 3,4 different mornings , i squeezed the top and bottom radiator hoses ,with expansion tank cap out, and it looks that ,i don't get anymore the error "low coolant"
(i also added some wiper fluid,too for windshield ,as i was reading somewhere that the low coolant may appear because of that also being low.)
Now,other question for you:
Is there a trick to reset the "service warning ?" ,service is passed 30 days! it say , and i read the manual and it say that i have to take the car to the dealer to do that,so i am just asking if is there anything i can do for that to be reset it.
Thank you so much for your help!
