Well when I first read the wiki and forum write ups on bleeding my WBX I was filled with dread. However in about ten years have never had any trouble with it.
I can only put my success down to the otherwise irritating slope outside my house where the front sit at about six inches higher than the rear. I imagine it is because under these conditions the radiator bleed is higher than the one in the engine bay so any air in the system finishes up at the radiator whether due to gravity or pumped.
Anyone else found this?
