My heater doesn't work!
Check operation of the heater core coolant control valve and associated remote control mechanism.
Chech heater coolant hoses are not kinked or crushed,
Check that both inlet and return heater hose is equally warm, as this indicates coolant flow through the heater core.
If no coolant flow:-
Check cooling system is correctly filled, taking care to bleed off any air locks from the system as necessary (with heater coolant valve open);
Check heater core is not blocked- if blocked you may be able to backflush.
