I will try that. But again, wouldn't you think this problem would have shown up right away when last time I drained and refilled the system (+/- a year ago)? To me this seems to be a gradual thing. About two years ago when I replaced the old water pump (leaking), the coolant temp at the normal operating condition started to be around 84C instead of 80c before I replaced pump, thermostat, and coolant. This past summer the coolant temp stayed at the 90c at acceleration or A/C on. Now it is at 120C. So something I did when I replaced the pump must have caused this to happen - either the pump or the air bubble. So does this give us any clue?
