p.s. dont ask how it got there. thx

Cayenne have no bleeder, just refill, do a ride till hot, let the engine cool down and top up the coolant tank.

By hot RFM means full operating temperature.

I think the air flows back to the coolant overflow tank and is vented there.

That is very correctly worded Loren.

thanks, did it, cooling down now. lets see if it works. i installed webasto today and got a lot of air into the system. If it works like this what is the point of buying bleeding system?

[RFM]

The bleeding (filling) system is used on flat six engines, Cayenne presents no bleeding problems.

Actually, any water cooled system can benefit from a vacuum fill, which is why many OEM's such as Nissan are now recommending it for all cooling systems. While other designs are not as prone to the issues Porsche sees, they can still get air pockets in them. Vacuum filling eliminates any chance of that, and typically also reduces the total service time as well............
