if you mean you could hear the sound of water running,thats usually a sign of head gasket failure. | |

dont think the 1.2 8v has a bleed screw may be wrong though.id say waterpump as iirc the waterpump is the tensioner on some of them and have a habbit of failing. | |

It isn't a ka and the heater has nothing to do with bleeding the coolant on a Vaux. | |

Does if you remove the coolant bottle cap, as some cars dont have bleed nipples. And you need to put heaters onto hot, ka's were a git for getting air locks if you didn't do this. Every car is different tho. | |

Putting the heaters on won't help to bleed it mate. | |

Have you checked the coolant levels? Did you have to top it up loads? did you bleed it during the fill? | |
