Sounds like you have air trapped in the system. Haynes manual calls for filling radiator slowly, with engine off and with heater controls on maximum heat. Then fill overflow resevoir to lower line. Leave radiator cap off. Start and run engine until engine warms, thermostat opens, and coolant is visibly flowing through radiator top (upper hose becomes warm). Turn engine off and let it cool. Add more coolant to radiator. Squeeze upper radiator hose to force air out. Add more coolant if necessary. Install radiator cap and start engine. Let it reach operating temperatur and check for leaks. Good luck. Hy

Was my suggestion helpful? Were you able to get out he trapped air? Is your car now running at the right temp? Please post and let us know. Hy
