\r\n \r\n IMO the theory is that if you don\'t have a thermostat it wont build up the appropriate amount of heat in order to get warm air out of the vents to keep u warm in the cold or to defrost your windows.

\nAnother things is some people says it wont let the engine get warm enough to get up to temp to put it into the open loop (or is is closed lol I get them mixed up)\r\n

800 miles later: coolant in the engine; rebuild. I discovered my lack of thermostat, put one in, and ever since the alarm / light has been off.

Sorry, I've never had this problem once I figured how to fill correctly.
I will run the engine with the coolant cap off.
I top off the coolant once everything gets sucked down.
I cap it when it starts to overflow consistently.
I've found that this will guarantee all air bubbles are out of the system.
This works with thermostat / gutted theromstat / no thermostat.
This works with the filler on the the thermostat cover for S4's and remote on the rad for S5's.
I don't fuck with the stupid bleed screws anymore, cause they tend to strip and fuck up the stupid o-ring.
