    Default Overheating after heater valve change.

    Good chance that I got air in the cooling system? Did not realize it until I had been working on the air conditioning with the car running. Coolant spilled out everywhere. Is the coolant supposed to continue to leak out of the plastic bleed screw on the reservoir until the pressure goes down? Thanks. Gave me a reason to drive the Saab 93 today.

    yeah, you'd likely need to bleed it after displacing that much coolant.
