air bubbles
Not an expert on this but I started with a cold engine, took off the radiator cap and started the engine and ran it up to tempenture and just kept squeezing the upper radiator hose. System kept burping the air out, After several minutes of doing this, I added a bit of coolant back in and put radiator cap back on and it seems to work just fine now. Of course with any coolant system be careful not to burn yourself. I've heard of some people drilling a very very small hole in the theromastat to prevent the build up of air bubbles but then the coolant circulates too soon and you never reach correct engine running tempenture. What I mean is it'll still work but it'll generally run to about the 1/4 mark on the temp gauge where normally the needle goes about 1/2 way.
good luck!
best thing about small cars, when their easier to push home.
