are you sure your coolant cap is on correctly? it's very easy to thread it wrong. did you turn on the heater while burping / bleeding? also, the tip has a slightly different "bleed" procedure than a manual by pulling the fuse.

And although obvious to some people it may not be to all... do not overfill the reservoir, coolant expands and contracts, if overfilled excess will be force out onto the ground over a period of time. Just fill to the max line and keep an eye on it. As JFP mentioned you most likely still have air the system and it may take a while to completely bleed out.

Shd i keep the coolant cap open and click the bleed valve to the vertical position when i turn on the heater? Then leave the car overnite with coolant cap and bleed valve opened?

I reckon the tip has a diff procedure when pulling the fuse... when i unplug the fuse, everythg in the dashboard didnt work... Is it normal or its the wrong fuse?

sorry for asking too many questions... Coz theres just too many question marks in my head nw! Thanx
