   Well today i had a problem with my heating iwas just getting cold air through the vents so i have been sorting that out today and finally got hot air coming through by bleeding and adding warm water as it is -10 outside i think it froze up but now added anti freeze and its all good now. But now i can hear water noises coming from behind the dashboard, Should i be worried or does it do that after you bleed the system?
   
   Thanks

   Sounds like you may still have an air lock in the system. Is it a gushing sound? I had this in my VTS went away after I bleed the whole system.
