For a few weeks I have noticed that my car has been running a little hot. This started happening after I changed the front radiator hose. Then a few days ago it started running even hotter and then eventually in the red. We changed the thermostat (the old one was tested and works fine) but it still runs hot albeit not in the red yet. Could there be air in the system? There is no steam or anything and I'm not losing any fluid. Any help would be appreciated

you need to make sure you bleed the cooling system completely of air. this should take care of your problem
