Used the old spud and carrot before got a bung kit.
Mixed results depending on system design but saved hrs of work refilling and bleeding a large system.
Make sure you close pump valves and any other AAV that might be fitted on system & remember you will loose a litre of so before the water hold.
Always have everything ready in case vacuum lets go anyway.
Never rely on it 100%
Used this method in dozens of times & not had any major mishaps.
