The Problem
i have fitted a new radiator and the heater now doesnt work..i have flushed the system with coolant flush, fitted new thermostat,took a hose off matrix pipe at bulkhead and put hose pipe on it took a top hose off radiator and im getting water to it so it cant be blocked? i think it may be air lock but have no bleeder screw to free it on this model,other than this problem the car runs fine and gets up to normal running temperature,hope you can advise me please...

Suggested Solution
start the car and run it up to tempreture with the cap of the header tank removed and turn the heater onto hot and put the fan on to the screen and and have the fan on full this will remove any trapped air in the system you have hope it helps

Suggested Solution
Corsa's are self bleeding and do not usually cause any heater problems, if have replaced the thermostat i can only think that the coolant is not circulating properly due to a faulty water pump.

thx for your speedy responce,today i took off one of the matrix pipes at the bulkhead,the one nearest the header tank as this one feels cold all the time although water was trickling out when the engine was up to temperature the water was barely warm,should the water be gushing out ? and how can it be going in the other matrix pipe red hot but coming out of the other matrix pipe luke warm?....very confusing? hope you can advise...many thx
