Default Overheating EF hatch

Im not sure why this car is still overheating. I replaced the water pump, I replaced the thermostat, I bleed the coolant multiple times and it seems like theres a never ending supply of air in the coolant. It never overheats just sitting idleing but when you go to drive it, then it over heats. I have my fan hardwired to come on when the ignition is switched on. The car is perfectly in time.

Im in time, I have a new water pump, thermostat, the fan works and the coolant has been bleed. Theres also no water on the dip stick and the car isn't leaking any water anywhere. Any ideas?

You are most likely dealing with a headgasket. As soon as you get driving you build enough pressure for the gasket to open up and cause the overheat condition. There are a few companies that sell kits to check for hydrocarbons getting into the cooling system and they work well.

this is the one I use at work, you may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

OR, open the rad cap and smell the coolant to see if it smells like exhaust. thats whats making you think you have air in your coolant when its really the pressurized exhaust gas in there.
