if there is an air lock it should cause the engine to seriously over heat because one the coolant wont b circulating thro the system and two air heats up more than coolant

no need to drain it.
unscrew 1 till you have constant water coming out then just tighten it up then do the same with the other one

on the HDI there's a problem of the heater matrix getting blocked wich only drops the temp in side the car but there's NO over heating as it still circulates thru the engine

you can try and bleed it to eliminate it but i suggest you find a local garage to check your coolant for the present of exhaust gasses.

try bleeding it to see if it cures and if it does go ask your mechanic why he had not bled it correctly then look for a new mechanic
