it's not unusual for sensors to get gunked up in the coolant header tank, normally means new bottle.  about 30 notes from VX.  as for bleed screw the only bleed screw i know of is on the bottom right of radiator, but what about using the header tank for refilling.

Why did they have to dissconnect the oil cooler to do the crank pulley, when its at the front, bottom centre of the engine? They don't need to touch the top of the engine at all!! Unless I am missing something here :-/
