definitely sounds like air to me. I'm not sure about your specific motor however on my 617's I usually fill up the bottle to the mark, put the defroster on and drive around until it gets hot at the vent. Stopping every now and again to refill the coolant bottle. Eventually it'll stop emptying and the system will be complete.
