I've never had a car with a magical bleeding screw, I just run it with the cap off, and squeeze the crap out of both the rad hoses, while pouring coolant right in the radiator til, she boils over, and keep doing it til I think the bubble is out. Then I wait for it to cool off, and see if it needs more coolant, or go kick the crap out of the car til she gets up to temp and see what happens. My money is on the radiator cap, otherwise there may be a small leak keeping the system from being pressurized. Do a good visual inspection and start the car, and check the hoses to see if it is circulating properly. Your thermostat might be partially stuck. So at highway speed there is just enough air to cool the engine, but at a stop the fans cant keep up. But check the cap and hoses and try and burp her first.
