Flashing Coolant Light

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

and what was the trick to get rid of this "pseudo air bubble" ??

(my car has had this problem only about 2 weeks now, the coolant has not
been changed in a few months (before cincy!)
so the theory (for me at any case) is probably somethign else.

=>  As the engine heats up, the coolant expands as much as the air.
=> In fact,
=>the bubble will decrease in size since air is compressable and
=>water is not.
=> I had this same problem (as John is experiencing) and was able to fix it
=>quite easily (as a result of a suggestion that the Meze gave me).
=>(Ah, the Meze.  He may not have the fastest, quickest,
