have a look in the passenger footwell on the right hand side there is a hinge that moves when you flick it from hot to cold, make sure that is clipped in place. If you cant see the hinge, move the dial and you will. | |

OK I've solved my cooling system problem. Was definately an airlock. Released the tank on cooling tank and havent had n e problems since. However now the flippin heaters r still blowing cold air even though the engine isnt overheating and when I feel all the hoses of the cooling system. There is no uneven temp distribution? :boggle: . Do ya reckon it could b heater matrix. BTW could it be somethen 2 do with the fuses. The air con is blowing air onto windscreen and through heaters OK but air temp is stil the same even though u change the temp knob on dashboard. | |

What also has come to me attention is that the corsa B manual states that the system isnt compatible with ethylene glycol antifreeze. I am suspecting that my antifreeze I used recently to top up my cooling system may contain it? Do u reckon this is Y my car is heating up and if so, my coling system needs to be drained rite? | |

still sounds like you have got an air lock there somewhere either that or your heater matrix is blocked | |

So when the car is running up to temp in the morning you are still getting cold air blowing through the heaters? | |

Whey-hey!! The cooling system on my corsa is kinda working. When I say that its not overheating anymore. but it isnt working properly though as I am still getting cold air been blown into my car from the heater, which isnt funny in the mornings when its still freezing cold!!! Is there any bleeding valves which need to be released to fix the heaters? | |

yes easy as that. remove the tank cap once its up to temp, around 95 degrees. | |

Shall I remove the cooling system tank cap before or during the engine is on? | |

well it could only be two things an air lock like you said or the thermostat sticking shut unless your rad is blocked | |
