Very helpful information, I will definitely look into this valve on my car and see if it seems to be blocking flow from the cross pipe to the banjo bolt area.

Definitely bleeds a lot better now with no air in the central filling pipe or the coolant tank on the inner wing.

Before I upgraded my cooling system, I did the same. Big improvement.
