This may be redundant but ... How did you bleed it?  I fill it up, leave
the overflow cap and the bolt on top of the rad off, start the engine and
let it run until warm.  Replace the bleeding bolt (I hope the English will
fogive me) when only coolant without bubles starts coming out of the rad
hole.  Need to be quick as things are hot by then.  Add collant as needed
during the whole process.

May not be needed if heater blows hot.
