No heat after radiator change FIXED

Hello all, I have replaced the radiator again today due to a leak, after re fitting and following bleed procedure I think I must have an air lock as I am getting no heat through the fans. Car is not overheating and have ran upto temp. Letting it cool for a few hours now. Is there any tricks to clear this (guessing airlock)
Thanks!

Try removing and re-fitting the pollen filter (sits just in front of and below the windscreen at the rear of the engine bay), I had the Same as you and this seemed to fix it. Probably hadn’t been seated probably?

I tried the pollen filter with no luck, I just let it idle for about 30 minutes, still nothing. Then I gave it some big revs 3 or 4 times with the expansion cap off and that seemed to push the air through as I now have heat Smile

Well done. The other cause I should have mentioned was the flaps sticking. Glad you got a result! Thumbs Up
