I'm having a hell of a time figuring out this overheating issue with my 94 Wagon. All of the posts I've read talk about a bleed screw that should be removed when filling the radiator. I cannot, for the life of me, find this thing. The only screw is the drain plug down on the lower passenger side of the radiator.
If someone could post a picture, that'd be a HUGE help. And save me the headache of assuming it's just a blown head gasket.
Bleed screw?

Re: Bleed screw?
that is what it is, also know as a petcock valve. it should have like a little nipple on it so you can hook a hose up to it if you want. it is small.

Re: Bleed screw?
Really? It sounded like it was a plug on the top of the radiator from the posts I was reading. The one on the bottom just immediately drains all my coolant if I take it off. I assumed it was just a drain plug, not an air bleeder. Would that mean it's not an air bubble issue?
I'm trying to bleed the air out of the system, not drain my coolant.

Right on top of the radiator on the right side. It's comes out with a phillips head and has a rubber coupler inbetween the screw and the radiator

Re: Bleed screw?
Well this would explain why I didn't know what everyone was talking about. Some jackass replaced it with a bolt. Got it bled and appears to have fixed it for now, yay!
