Help: Filling Rad on GSL SE

Just finishing replacing all the hoses from the rad. This includes the upper, lower, and all heater hoses (3 hoses). Zipping out to get the clamps that weren't included with the hoses...arghhh...

Of course, the rad is dead empty now. One the hoses are attached, I'll be ready to fill it up and start driving again :-)

Looking at the manual, it states pour in ani-freeze, start engine, and bleed air from the coolant passages, but doesn't say where the passages are.

Anyone know where the coolant passages are located on a GSL SE? Or can I simply fill the rad, start the car, and top off after turning the engine off?

Many thanks,
Duane

I've never had any problems filling my GSL-SE through the rad cap, located on the top of the radiator.

Thanks, that's what I figured, but the manual says otherwise.

Cheers,
Duane

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to top up the rad through the over-flow canister, but filling the rad from empty should be done through the rad cap.
