G35 overheated yesterday. Hose was loose causing system leak and overheat.

Now car is running at a good temp, and heater is blowing hot again.

When I go to purge the air from the bleed valve, a couple bubbles will come out, then it will just start pouring coolant free of air bubbles until I close the bleed screw.

Is this normal? I assumed that once the air bubbles out no more coolant would come out.

Thanks

 

Totally normal, the system is pressurized so any opening will have coolant forced out.

 

Yea, it's normal. But, I wouldn't mess with the valve while the system is pressurized or warm. Mine broke and shot coolant everywhere including my face. Luckily, it wasn't warm, however, I did run around outside like a psycho...

I think over the years it gets the whole connector gets brittle.

 

Checked back a little late. Messed with the system while warm. Got hot coolant in the face and bleed screw shot off. I found the bleed screw, but now the car is overheating and blowing cold air again.

 

How hot did it get? How long did you bleed it for? It usually takes me about 2 hours, before I'm sure the air is out. I don't mess with that screw anymore. I squeeze the hoses, use spill free funnel, rev engine till about 2k, and do this several times. Once the hoses are all hot, i still have cold air in the cabin usually. I then drive it around to get the last bubbles out. Done it this way several times.
