yeah i hope so too. The last 2 time I drove it and checked the coolant it was a little low and im sure its because its working through the system as I basically had to do a complete fill after I losted most of my coolant. I bled it again today so I hope a few more checks and it is back to normal. I never had a problem before I did this, no coolant leak, coolant in the oil and everything looks good so far as far as that goes. I hear air in the system is hard to get out so I will keep trying. I wonder if for some reason the gauge isnt reading correct now. I can watch the needle rise within a few minutes of driving and what else is weird, after my car sits for even 3-4 hours and i start it, the needle reads 170-175ish. Oh and I did look at my old thermostat and it was a 195 so I dont get the total change with this with using the same degree temp stat.
