Proper way? Unscrew the white radiator tube on the thermostat housing, fill the radiator full, fill the overflow tank to the top mark. Close everything up, drive for a day, check the overflow once the car has cooled down, and refill to the lower mark.I have my bird back together. I replaced the thermostat and ect sensor. I've looked and seen different way to fill the cooling system. So I'm wondering what's the correct way. As in radiator fill and reservoir fill. Thamks im advance

Didn't we already cover that in detail in your other thread?

That's good news. I had to replace mine two weeks ago...again - was new in 2013, but it came w/lifetime warranty from AutoZone, so that worked out.
Thank for the followup and good luck.

needle is right past the M on the gauge.
Past M is too high for my preference. If you filled it as you should, and frankly you have to work to do it wrong , it more likely that your fan is not running. Because the ECT is at the top rolleyes: not such a great design), then it could very well be an air pocket. That will clear itself out on its own. Just refill the overflow tank when after the car has cooled down. If it does it again, there may be a problem with the Relay module.Drove it to work today. Seems to running alittle warm, needle is right past the M on the gauge. I may have a air pocket still
Does the fan come on now?

fan is running now.
If it goes to around M, then the fan comes on and it cools down to around N, wash/rinse/repeat, then I'd say it's back to normal.
Resist the urge to remove the radiator cap to take a look...don't break the vacuum. Keep an eye on the level in the expansion tank, checking/leveling when cold after sitting over nite. Any remaining air should work it's way out after a few cycles.
...watch it for any persistent bubbling, too.
What does the bubbling mean
Anybody know what's the name of the hose that run from the thermostat housing to the front of the intake manifold.
Once the car starts to run on the warmer side I get bubble in the expansion tank. I have not replaced the cap...and what about that bubble stream in the expansion tank?
Remind me - did you replace the radiator cap yet?
