I just replaced my radiator with a brand new OEM unit. The original was damaged and had a minor leak, but the car never overheated or ran low on coolant. I caught it on the first day it leaked. I filled the system with 50/50 OEM coolant and have tried everything to vent the system, but I overheat after running it for more than five minutes. There is no reason that the thermostat or water pump should have been affected. It is acting like there is air in the system but I have tried everything I know to get it out. Is there a high point vent that I can not find? I have been chasing this for days.

If I may ask, why didnt you take the vehicle to dealership for them to fix the radiator? Are you over the basic warranty coverage or is this a damaged vehicle you are trying to fix up? If the radiator was leaking at a certain mileage please let us know!
