Do not use water wetter if you have any coolant in the system. A reaction takes place between the water wetter and coolant and a precipitation is formed.

Indeed it sounds indicative of air pockets in the cooling system - I had the same problem with my beater recently.

and put new thermo as well. and i will update ..
