I’ve given you my thoughts and experiences on a troublesome V6 and sadly don’t entirely agree with Simon’s all will be OK if you use the Rover method approach. That the method should work - certainly, but that it is 100% successful - no. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box and apply unconventional methods.
I experimented with several different approaches, including compressed air to pressurise the system and bleeding air from the bleed screw while the engine was running, which is how I removed the final pockets of air after several runs.
Your running temperature is a bit hot, but nothing scary, I hope you found and removed the broken bits from the old bleed screw, which as Colvert says was probably leaking air into the system. Perhaps it’s time to relax a bit, keep monitoring the temp if using the car, until you get the new parts and can be sure the system is 100% sealed and then battle can commence renewed.
