I am getting ready to change my coolent in my raidator for the first time sence I baught the car in Dec 05. The las time I changed Anti freez it was on a Honda and the filler cap was directly into the raidator and you had to "burp" by squeezing the top hose. With my Volvo I don't see any way to directl fill the raidator via a cap or anything. I assume I just fill the resivwar , excuse my spelling, and " burp" it the same way I did my Honda. Any sugustions?

    Just fill it up, squeeze the upper hose several times while filling it, get it to the point where the bottle is about half full and you cannot burp anymore air out of it, screw the cap back on and fire it up and bring it up to operating temp, once cooled back down you may have to top the bottle up a little bit but usually not.
