bled the system and it all works fine... i had to add like another liter of coolant at least.. 
... must have been a lot of air in there...
thanks for all the help guys.

the way i bled mine, is leave it idleing it will bubble when u open the valve and let it come out, squeeze the hoses, dont burn yourself cause it sucks, but just keep squeezing until u just see pure liquid no bubbles, hope that helps.

Actually the easiest way to bleed the system is to start it with the radiator cap off and let it idle for a few minutes...itll bleed itself.
