ive just put on a new overflow tank and am I right in thinking that the coolant hose that drops in through the top of the overflow tank needs to be airtight ?. My hose is too small for the hole to fit in
Think I have an airlock in the system after fitting the new overflow tank. Temps are all fine boosts well and nothing is spilling out the overflow tank.

Airlocks are very hard to clear. the main airlock area is the heater matrix behind the dash. Took weeks for mine to clear properly.

I’ve never had a problem with either the header or overflow tank being dry. After a blast the overflow obvs rises because the coolants being pushed through from the header, but always decreases in level in the overflow once it’s sat overnight. Headers the same, doesn’t fill right to the top but normally sits 2/3 centimetres below the top cap.
Any tips on how to clear an airlock ? I only know what I’ve read on the internet.
