urgent help! Cooling system problems. Options

[KaneO]

I recently had my Celica with a 5sfe taken in to get a new radiator. problem being now is i think there is air traped inside. Tried Numerous times to bleed it.. what happens is when i take the car for a long drive and shut it down it dumps about a litter of coolant out the expansion tank and it also dose sometimes when the car is running.. Temp is normal according to the gauge and the car runs fine otherwise. I've taken it back to the mechanics and they failed to fix the problem. What's worse is i had plans to go on holidays and drive this car there. witch is less than a week away!

My bleeding procedure is the following so correct me if Im wrong.

Turn the heater to full hot. (fans off). Start the car with the rad cap off. using a small funnel wedged in there i top off the radiator. I then rev the car as it seems to help purge the air out. Wait for the bubbles to stop and shut the car off and refit the rad cap.

please help.

if you can afford it there is a funnel out there that acts like a radiator cap in the sense you can tighten it on and fill it, leave some extra coolant in the funnel and run it with the heater on.

Are you sure there is air in the system?

I have herd of them. But Im hoping to take the car with me on holidays very soon and i doubt i will get one in time.The funnel i use is well sealed in when i put it in the radiator, it doesn't leak. I fill it half way up the funnel and once the car heats up, the coolant with rise to the top of the funnel and even spill a bit. Forgot to mention the car was pressure tested. No leaks after the new rad was put in.

And yes there is air in there. i can see bubbles come up occasionally especially when i rev the car.
