better don't. Let it circulate and then flush it. Leave it to sit and you can expect a lot of erm.... 'interesting' things

If you never did this type of DIY before.
better to be more careful as if u dont, u might end up overheat ur engine.

U need to bleed those air out of ur cooling system.

Any DIY always risking especially for those who have not done it before.....lol

bleeding that means, need to let the thermostat to open right ? so the air can circulate in the engine.
correct me if im wrong, the thermostat opens when the fan runs without the air cond turned on ?

There is a bleeding screw or nipple to let air out, but I have never done it as I let the water circulate before locking the radiator cap

No no no.. The thermostat separates the water in the engine block from the radiator so the coolant can warm up accordingly and maintain a constant temperature of 80+ degrees celsius (in most stock cars it's about there). To bleed you need to remove the air in the system meaning you run the system until thermostat opens up to circulate the water in the block so any air inside comes out with it and is removed via the radiator cap or overflow tank. You remove thermostat only if you want to remove the water in the block.

is it okay to run the engine with the coke/white vinegar in the radiator with the thermostat removed?

Running without the thermostat, means water can circulate even when cold. The thing is after flush make sure you install the thermostat back properly
