Yep, leave the cap off 
If you can't get all the air out (airlock), then pull off the small pipe from the tank that connects to the top hose. Then shove a length (about 3 feet) of transparent tubing in it & attach it high up to the bonnet. Then start the car & get it warm, rev it a few times & watch the air bubbles all come out. When you turn the engine off, wait for a while for anymore air to come out. Then restart it & give a few more revs, then switch off again.
That should get rid of any airlocks in the system

One problem.. I get horrible resonance sound when I turn heater position switch (or whatever it is). It comes when motor turns flaps or something there.
