Is it actually that easy? If I replace a heater core, that's all that's needed to purge the air?

[@sergiomechanic6265]

Yes, any work on the coolant circuit its what you should do to purgue the air

This is a very simple way that might work, or you might find yourself a few miles from home with an overheated and possibly damaged engine.

This is the way to purge coolant system on your 996 but if you know another way to purge it please share it with us

@@sergiomechanic6265 The way the manual and most enthusiasts say to do it, which doesn't involve driving the car around. There's actually two 'book' ways to do it, with a vacuum bleeder and without. This is the process without: 1. Consider covering the trunk with plastic in case of a coolant overflow. 2. Remove the radiator cap, oil filler cap, and dipstick. 3. Pop the cover trim plate off the filler access area. This reveals the bleeder valve. If you remove the little screw above the trim plate to do this, be extremely careful to not drop the screw into any of the filler necks. 4. Flip the bleeder valve locking clip up to release it. 5. If you have an automatic transmission, remove fuse B1 (the ATF cooler valve). 6. Fill with coolant up to the bottom edge of the filler neck. 7. With the engine idling, occasionally revving the engine, fill up with coolant until there's no more room when the engine is revved. (Revving may raise the level a bit.) 8. Replace radiator cap. 9. Warm up engine until you are sure the thermostat is open. 10 minutes at 2500 RPM should do it, and you should hear the radiator fans come on. 10. Run 5 more minutes at 2500 RPM, revving to 5000 RPM every 30 seconds. 11. Carefully open the radiator cap, and top up the coolant. 12. Replace the radiator cap. 13. Run 5 more minutes at 2500 RPM, revving to 5000 RPM every 30 seconds. 14. Idle until the radiator fans cycle on and off once. 15. Carefully open the radiator cap, and top up the coolant. 16. Put everything back the way it was.
