changed coolant - now cant seem to get rid of air lock - any advice ??

only one way and thats to keep bleeding to make sure all air is out .manual bleeding is best /that is just my opinion .when doing mine iblew in the header tank,you must make sure the level dont go down in header tank or your be just doing it all night :D...heater set on full ,fill header tank slowly to aviod createing air ,run egine,open valve and watch till runs in a smooth motion .let it run to check fan comes on,take it for a spin and check if ok check level in morning .when bleeding the header tank has to be full right up .if you done it right yuor see a swirl at top of header tank ,that will only happen if no air is trapped ,also check that all hoses are hot ..when draining the systewm it is recommended that you flush it through in ne end out the other that wayit is a nice clean system plus your know the matrix isnt blocked did mine some 8 months back and not had to add a single drop of coolant since ..
