Okay so I have bleed the coolant using the coolant screw also with the cap open runs fine for about 2 weeks after that it starts to overheat again. The only new thing I have done to my cooling system is a new reservoir its aluminum it had a pressurized cap on it and still did the same thing some people told me to try to take the cap of and re bleed a run it again. SO I DID. TWO WEEKS LATER BACK HERE AGAIN!

Have you tried changing the two coolant sensors?

Small leak somewhere

Are you losing coolant?

*anti tyler* · 11-06-2016, 04:36 PM

Is there consistency in the 2 weeks things?

Like driving time and distance?

Are your fans turning on?

Are you adding fluid regularly?

Chaison you need that kit to fully burp the system

Just taking the cap off isn't enough. You have to get the special funnel that lets you overflow the rad with fluid. Any auto parts store has this. You have to leave the funnel there while the car is idling. The fluid will go up and down for a while as the system burps itself.
