Bleed system
Got air in the system. Park it with front end up in air higher that the back. Let it run few mins and then repeat.
Compress/squeeze the hoses…helps purge the air out the system!
That’s not hot but you probably need to bleed it better
Bleeding missed
Go to the engine heads and find the bleeding screws on top of the thermostat outlets
Make sure your new coolant dosen’t have silicates. You will kill the water pump shaft seal
Bleed air. There is a bleed screw on engine where coolant goes into head
Is fan kicking on?
Bleed the air out of it
Raise front up a couple feet open cap a let run to bleed air
If its a pre-2018, then the fan switch…ie thermoswitch is sitting in air. Fill the radiator to the very top hot and cap it.
Drive it, check level and add coolant
didnt bleed it out good enough its air pockets
All good answers here to solve your problem but my question is with the low miles shown why did u replace the coolant? You wouldn’t change your car coolant with less than 400 miles. Not even 4000 miles just asking
