I know I am going to start a contoversy but here goes. IMHO the bleeder kit fixes a symptom. Once you have bled the air from your system it will "self bleed" if the air that is still trapped inside is small. The problem most cars have is that they have coolant leaks. When the system cools it draws air in through the leaks. Since the system gets more air in it then it can "self bleed" the auto bleeder seems to "fix" things when in reality you still have the coolant leaks. On the cars I have done a total rebuild of the cooling system and are "tight" they have no problems with air. The bleeder itself isn't a bad thing but be aware that you are only masking a symptom and not deaing with the real problem. If you install the bleeder and EVER have to add coolant you can be sure you have leaks. The bleeder kit is cheaper than going the whole way though and could help you put off the proper repair until a more convienient time.
