I've replaced the drain plug, filled up the radiator with proper coolant/antifreeze, turned on the engine then closed the cap to see the needle going fast to near the red mark. I turned off the engine and touched the cap with my finger but it was cold so I did the same with a hose, not hot.
Any ideas?
Thank you


Well, it seems the problem was not all circuit was filled. I did add more after a while running and now it is working normally (knock wood).
