changed the water pump... and no throttle

i changed the water pump on my new 98 e430 ...everthing went super smooth . .... but once done the car wouldnt accelerate at all ... ended up being an air lock in the system ... after about 15 minutes it finally let out and my baby started reving ... ahhhh thank goodness ... i thought i might have bigger issues . i guess these drive by wire cars have sensors that are very touchy ..
just posting so that if smomeone else encounters the same issue , that its no biggie ...just air in the system ...and i couldnt find a bleeder anywhere ... is there one ?? or how do you guys bleed the system ??

No bleed valve -- just remove the cap from the expansion tank. Any air will find it's way there pretty quickly.
