Desperately need help!
Today I decided to flush out and replace the coolant in my 2006 lr3. After opening the bottom radiator hose, I let the coolant all drain out. I poured a ton of water into the resevoir and let it drain through. I reclamped the radiator hose and continued to fill the truck with 50/50 dexcool through the resevoir. Left cap off, bleeder valve loose, and started truck. Turned on heat.
Shortly after, the coolant began rapidly expanding. My reader showed coolant was reaching 240F and temp gauge on truck went above 3 oclock position. I shut it off to prevent overheat damage. Ive let it cool and tried several times, putting cap back on, draining more coolant, squeezing the coolant hoses, taking cap back off, all to no avail.
I am baffled and although i just drained coolant from the bottom twice until the resevoir was in normal range, im now looking at a filled to the brim resevoir once again. Thanks.
