you need to have the heater set to full hot when you fill the system or you will have air trapped in there

also, you need to bleed the air out from the head with the 1 or 2 10mm bleed bolts near the top of the intake manifold

There is more than 1 water hose that runs near the firewall. Get under the car and check for leaks.

The next thing to check is in the drivers and passengers footwell for water/damp spots. If there is then your heater core is leaking which is behind the dash.

As a temporary fix you can run the two pipes coming out of the firewall on the passenger side into each other.

so if i haven't done this water will continue to be realised? where is it going? i think there was a few drips coming from under the engine but its been cold wet mornings and cant really tell where its coming from or if its morning dew. where are the other water hoses located? thanks for the heads up
