how to bleed a punto cooling system

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Punto has two bleed screws: One on the top of the radiator and one at the back of the engine on the heater hose.
Undo both screws
Fill header tank right to the top
Squeeze all the hoses
Keep repeating this until a fair amount of coolant is coming out of both bleed screws
Do up the back one
Keep squeezing hoses so coolant keeps coming out of the radiator bleed screw until the coolant is at max
Do up screw
Replace radiator cap
Run engine until fan comes on
Let it cool for a couple of hours
Finally, check the level and top up to max if needed.
