Hi all
I have just fitted a new thermostat and radiator on my nissan serena, however the temp gauge seems to be stuck in the same position, it is just about out of the cold position even when driven for about 10 miles.
I let it idle for about 15 mins from cold the other day and the gauge moved up to just under half way and the fans kicked in, I also left the rad cap off and squeezed both rad hoses to encourage any air to escape, both hoses were very hot.
Could this be an airlock issue,? there is an air relief valve near the engine block but dont know if this is automatic or if I need to bleed it myself.
Any advice would be truly appreciated.
