1) Park the car on an inclined driveway
2) Remove the radiator cap and place a funnel in the top of the radiator and put some distilled water in the funnel such that there was sufficient weight in the funnel to seal it to the top of the radiator
3) Start the engine and allow to warm completely with the heater running full blast (at least 15 minutes or so)
4) Rev the engine up to about 2000k to 2500 RPM and let it run there for 30-40 seconds, do this several times until you can return your engine to idle for a few minutes and the heater remains hot
5) As you run the engine and rev it the air will start to bubble out of the top of the radiator, you may over flow it and need to add more water, just keep checking it throughout the process
6) let the engine idle and make sure the radiator is full
7) replace the cap, let it cool for an hour then take it for a test drive making sure the heater works as expected - repeat 1-6 if necessary
