I'm hoping it's just a really pesky airbubble. I've jacked up the car, both sides at different times, squeezed the radiator hoses. Used the air bleed valve, revved the engine while bleeding, heater on etc...
The only thing left to do (after you've ruled out mechanical possibilities) is to get a reader that can read engine coolant temps from the ECU. The possibility of normal coolant temp(s) and a faulty sensor is there, we just haven't ruled it out.
