I just had my timing belt, water pump and thermostat replaced at 120k miles. A few days after this work my car started overheating. Took it back to mechanic and he thought there was air in the system. He bled the system. Still overheated (not regularly), so he replaced thermostat and bled system again. I am now always overheating after going only about 5 miles on the road. I tried bleeding the system myself (running at 2500 rpm for 5-10 minutes) and the car never overheated. After getting back on the road, 5 miles and the car overheats. Could this be a radiator problem? Two mechanics have told me no way on a head gasket or cracked block. I am stumped!
