So much faster/better. 5 minutes to completely fill the system and eliminate all air pockets. The job is done, and done completely, in minutes.
No more idling, waiting for the thermostat to open, purging air and refilling.
It's just done.
On my MB, this is the only way to eliminate air pockets and get a good bleed in the intercooler system. Air pockets in that system reduce engine performance by reducing heat transfer.
That's why I bought it.
Now that I've got it, though, I use it for every car. It's a huge improvement over the old way of doing a cooling system fill.
Nice. That would save a lot of time. Probably not much of a benefit for a DIY'r such as myself, but I can see it being useful.
In the perfect world, I may do 1 or 2 cooling system fluid swaps and/ or repairs a year.
