It went to the dealership. They performed the bleed process and advised that air came out and the fans work. I picked up the car and it’s till doing it. Possibly it’s slightly improved. Today I drove a few miles and it went over 200 but then back to 190 for a bit. Then 215. If I accelerate a bit the temp comes down a little bit and then climbs back up again. In my mind it’s acting like an air pocket.I am sure you have already tried this, but I will throw this out there. I have had cars over the years that are absolute bears to bleed. This has worked on cars with overflow bottles and surge tanks. I will over fill the bottle and close the system. Let it get as hot as you can then shut it off and let it cool. As the system cools it will purge the Air and replace it with the excess coolant.
It’s going back in the morning
