1 Answer
There may be an air pocket in the system. If you have recently flushed and/or done any work with your coolant, it can cause this (mine did it just 2 days ago!). Turn the car on, fill the coolant reservoir with the cap off (MAKE SURE IT IS NOT HOT!!!), and let it cycle. As it warms up, squeeze the large hose on top to "burp" the system. I hope this helps - Good Luck!!
