Did you replace and flush the antifreeze yourself? Maybe you have an air pocket in the system, did you try bleeding it yet?

to bleed the system just turn the heat all the way up, open the filler cap (unless you have a bleeder crew somewhere) and fill it up, let it run at idle and every time it burps and drops the level top it off . depending on what your capacity is it could take anywhere from 10 minutes to and hour+. my BMW holds 4 gallons of coolant so it took forever.
