Tried it already. the top one gets very hot, the bottom one does not.

I have tried flip the radiator upside down, but the result was the same, no coolant circulation.

The water pump flows normally (I would assume) because when I rev the engine there is a surge of coolant escaping from the expansion tank.

I since have also tried an old radiator from a V70, and with that one there was circulation, so I am deeming the radiator faulty.

I'm calling the parts store tomorrow and asking for a replacement radiator.

Will post an update after installing it.

Cheers,
