Did you try to follow the ISTA repair instructions?

Use vacuum for bleeding.

1. Basically you fill it up with the bleeding screws open, then close the screws but leave the cap off.
2. Start the engine and wait until you see coolant coming out of the small hose at the top of the reservoir, then close the cap.
3. Leave the engine idle for a while, wait for it to cool down, and top off. You want the thermostat to open so make sure it reaches operating temperature.Be prepared to top it off a few times as needed.

Filling possible only after vacuum bleeding
