Do you have water in your radiator or anti-freeze anti-boil coolant?

Open the bleed hole on inlet incase it has air lock in manifold which wouldnt show up when check level in radiator or on temp gauge as sender lower also

i use coolant,i usually open bleed hole and fill radiator with coolant until its full then start car with heater on and continue to fill until all air bubbles stop,is this procedure correct?

VLTs always boil the coolant in the head once you turn the car off, a turbo timer will help but once it's hot theres not much you can do.

I had the same issue a while back. Anyway I placed a poly pipe into the radiator filler neck. The pipe was about 30cm long. Made sure it was a tight fit & filled it up. Undone the bleeder bolt & started to bleed the cooling system properly & yes make sure the car is warm & the heater is on hot.
