means you have air in the coolant system you need to bleed the engine.

an airlock depends where abouts your on about? brakes or radiator or fuel?

im taking the obvious being the rad in which chase its trapped air in the system and to sort the problem out you need to bleed the system

Easy to replace mate but you will have to flush the radiator ideally and bleed it

not too tricky though to do!
