If it keeps airlocking after bleeding , it might be head gasket fault .

get a sniff test done to check for head gasket fault

have you tried filling and draining at the same time to force the air out but using a hose to force the water in and if that works then slowly drain whilst adding antifreeze coolant at the correct dose until this runs through
