I recently just installed my new VMP gen 3 kit and last thing to do was put the coolant in and see if the coolant is flowing back into the reservoir.
For some reason I cannot get the coolant to flow, I’ve tested the pump by taking off the hoses and pouring water in one end and it shoots out the other. I know there is air somewhere in the system and have tried everything I can to get it out but something still isn’t working
I wish I had access to an air compressor so I could just use one of those coolant fillers but I don’t.
Any suggestions would really help, kit has been installed for the past 3 days but can’t run the car since the coolant isnt circulating.

You can try lifting the fill point up higher.
You can squeeze the hoses to try and help it bleed.
Outside of that, you really need to vaccuum the system.

This happened to me a few times. The only way to fix it from my experience is to take the hose off of the reservoir And blow compressed air in the hose going to the intake.

I also battled this after the install and it was because the take wasn’t filled high enough and taking a hard turn.
Once you get it primed make sure you fill the tank past the top black part
