4. Set heating to maximum temperature. Take back blower to smallest stage.
6. Press accelerator pedal for 10 seconds to floor. Engine must not be started.
7. The bleeding procedure was started by pressing the accelerator pedal and takes approx. 12 min.
(the electrical coolant pump was activated and switches off automatically after approx. 12 min).

Also open the overflow cap and see if the coolant is moving with the pump running.
i've done the procedure before but didnt let it run for 12 mins. will try that now will report back. thanks

edit: my battery just died running the procedure!! ill boost it up when i charge up my booster. but during the whole time the coolant was moving in the overflow cap.
