Upper radiator hose cold
Just did a coolanjt flush yesterday. Now the car overheats and the upper radiator hose (goes into the thermostat housing) is cold. Lower hose hot and fan turns on at high speed. Temp gauge goes to max. Everything was fine before the flush.
Any ideas????

refill skill...
too much air... not enough coolant.
Right now your coolant is not circulating properly, that's causing overheat: STOP!
The question is: how do you fill the block to radiator circuit when the cap and overflow tank is located remotely ?
The key is to get the air bubbles to escape
I guess.... you want the coolant service procedure to burp all air pockets out.
