Hi all I got round to the task of putting coolant in my car today however it's heating up fine and waters getting warm but the heaters won't get warm unless I'm revving car. What could this be? Not bled correct or a sticky thermostat ?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks Alan

Airlock, also known as a short cut to a cracked head.
Pull off the upper heater hose, let coolant flow from each side, then refit it.

Are the hoses on the right way round? Back of head to lower heater pipe, upper heater pipe return to pump/reservoir
