Still running hot. Out of ideas.

'82 240d

So...

Replaced radiator, water pump, thermostat, all seals and gaskets, hand full of hoses, temp sensor. Hose water flush, degrease flush, citrus flush. Filled with 50/50 G-05 and distilled water. Burped (but didn't notice any significant air bubbles). Drove it for a week, never needed to fill coolant.

It's still hot. Used to ALWAYS stay just under 80º no matter what (even when it was leaking coolant), now it runs between 90º and 100º all the time and kind of drifts back and forth within that range. Loses some water out of the overflow hose just about every time I park. Heater blows hot.

I'm out of ideas. What could I have missed?

Thanks again!
