Never bleed the ic again

Last night while tinkering with my car I kinda thought of this. This will only work with those that had separated their cooling and used the BMW reservoir.

Use a generous length of hose (about 2-3 feet) connect the bleeder port on the aluminum hard pipe and connect with the second port on the bottom of the BMW reservoir (the one that plugged up). You may have to use some adapter to make it fit.

Tap a 1/4" hose barb just under the cap and watch it bleed like crazy.

Interesting! The Sl55 "self bleeding" works the same way.
