Fuel stations are there for 2 things: fuel and food that's it... My previous boss's diesel got filled up with unleaded once.. Car had to towed away.. :bangdesk:

If it has the electric water pump, then the purging procedure is done as follows:
Key fob in and ignition on, then set the temperature on the climate control to max with the fan speed on the slowest setting. Then throttle pedal to the floor for 10 seconds without pressing the clutch or brake pedal of course. You will hear the pump begin to perform this procedure which lasts around 12 minutes or so. It is recommended to run this process twice and in some cases with the car's battery on charge (not really necessary unless the battery is on its last legs). Once done each time, open the expansion tank cap to release the purged air bubbles with a satisfying hiss in most cases.
