run the car up to temp and remove the coolant tank cap, put the heaters on hot and fan setting 2 in the car (this allows the water to pass through the heater matrix to remove air-locks) . let the car run until it bubbles over, leave it bubble for around 20 secs (this gets all the air out of the system) leave for 2 mins then top it up with water. | |

best thing to do with an airlock is to turn the heating on inside the car and on hot run the car up with out the cap on the bottle too when the car is warm see if you have hot air coming in the car also give all the pipes a good squeeze can move anything thats being stubborn | |

i had this when i ran my new engine up for the 1st time. was an air lock causing it to run hot, and an air leak causing it to run poorly and hot! | |
