You have to watch the fluid like a hawk as it will go down during the procedure.

Connect a battery charger to the battery or jumper cable ports under the hood.
Turn ignition to the ON position.
If equipped with a START button, push button twice (with key fob installed or active), but do not depress the brake or clutch pedals.* This will turn the ignition on, but not crank the starter.
Set heater temp to MAX and blower to low speed.
Press the accelerator pedal to the floor for 10 seconds.
The self bleeding procedure will begin
Thanks again.
Yes charger was connected via ports under the hood.
Maybe it was running but very quietly and we couldn't hear it.
Will definitely try again after we replace solenoid.

I wonder if bleeding procedure has to be done afterall ? As i said we didnt do it and it seems everything is fine. After solenoid swap i toped up intercooler coolant tank (as it was little low) and checked again after longer drive.
