Coolant Flow Vid

The coolant shouldn't flow up to the top of the filler neck like that when the car is idling, you would either need to pinch it as I did or have someone rev the engine for you, correct?
Either your flow is backwards or mine is. I have to pinch the drivers side hose to make the level rise to the top of the fill neck.

Given that it is a centifugal pump, the outlet ( pressure side) is radial and the inlet ( suction side ) is in line with the pump motor. I believe the flow comes out of the pump, into the intercooler, past the fill neck, on to the HE then back to the pump. Reving the motor should make a negligable difference as it's an electric pump.
