I saw this recommended by a Suby tech on YouTube. I didn't see a point as I've never had an issue even with the Turbo's. But it does seem like it would be much faster and harder to accidentally introduce new air.

I seriously doubt this is the issue since he is not seeing any other signs of cooling system issues which would undoubtedly present themselves if his bleeding was insufficient.

I've never had a car that was that hard to burp. I'll buy the $40 funnel. Those funnels aren't an easy find either.

If I ever have to flush, fill, change thermostat, rebuild, I'll have one. These cars or at least mine was bugger to burp. I've split enough anti-freeze burping and re-burping this car.

I've got a female yellow lab that my wife loves more than me. If DB got into that anti-freeze I'm done for.

Worth the $38.00 bucks more than an ordinary funnel, if it fixes problem and I spill less or none.

Wife is a keeper. Even if Dumb Blonde, (Also Know As), Double Barrel, Dubious Behavior, Da-Beast, Ding Bat, Da-Baby, is a PIA.

Wife bought me this $300 one owner car, 215,000 mile car that was spotless inside and had a straight body outside, she's a keeper.

The car and the wife. But not in that order.
