Im going to be only running the S3 HE and im wondering how to bleed air properly? Ill be installing option B so just keep filling tank till it stops taking coolant?

Cause i know the stock HE has a bleeder valve that you can use but the S3 does not.

make sure your hoses are hooked up the way zzp says and then option b will do the work for you.

Ok thats what i was thinking.

Can i buy the tank by itself somewhere? i could just source the plumbing parts elsewhere.

ZZp or ottp or mpx idk who but one sells just the tank i believe

the zzp kit is not expensive enough to go elsewhere for, its a excellent kit that has everything you need with no hassle.

i dont need the bleeder valve and the small hose. I can just get the tank and source the hose and T split from a hardware store

How do u bleed it if ur not runnin opt b thou

I always thought it was self bled with that hose leading to nothing on the filler neck in front of the sc..

its like bleeding anything else, stick your bleeder bucket down its throat and fill it, wait for bubbles to stop, expect to have to top it off several times over the next few days. if you absolutely refuse to buy the option b kit and bracket from zzp then you could just by the tank through gm, its basically the same tank as the regular coolant tank in the cobalt.

Ill email ZZP and see if they can do a lower price or just give me the tank

Ive been curious about this as well.....since the S3 doesnt have the nipple on top what do we do to bleed it?

any more info on it ? i dont plan to use opt b tank

get option b. its short money and is awesome. if you just do the stg 3 he its bled through the regular means, the stg 3 sits lower than the factory he so it will bleed up into the factory he and you can bleed it from there and from the filler neck.

i think its a waste honestly filler neck and dual pass is good enough hopefully itll work fine. thanks

I personally dont have a stock exchanger though since I have a cavie. So all ill be running is a s3

You won't say the same thing after you are done bleeding he system without an option b. Its a pain in the ass to get 100% of the air out. For the $100 you just drive down the highway and your whole system is completely bled in minuites. It's a cheap headache saver. Not to mention more fluid in the system. Option b FTW.
