Never had issues in the past, so I don't know why it is causing me so much grief now.
Changed the water pump over the winter and now I seem to have air in the system that just won't budge!
If I leave the car idling or off for a little while and then blip the throttle I can hear a rushing water sound through the heater matrix.
Previously I have simply filled the coolant up, started the car. Run it until the coolant starts to rise in the rad and I get no more bubbles and it's been fine. This time it just doesn't seem to want to shift.
Coolant level rises and then falls again in the expansion tank as it should. Heating works, albeit perhaps a little cooler than expected, but still hot.
Engine temp seems fine according to the gauge, the fan cuts in and out as it should.
I have no leaks that I can see anywhere.
Any ideas? Ive never had issues with this before on a starlet......
