mates gotta corsa c sxi 1.2 and the heaters arnt getting warm. It had the coolant changed about a month ago and today when checked there was nearly nothing in the headertank today.
i know theres lots of possibilities with this but can see no leaks from the coolant system, aside from headgasket (there would be signs of oil in water wouldnt there?) what could it be, air locked / blocked coolant system?
cheers

if its a headgasket failure there should be like a white mayo paste on the oil cap ..

Have you tried filling it, leaving the cap off and squeezing the hoses in case it's an air lock?

checked again, pipes too and from matrix are hot, plenty of coolant in the header tank
are the heater controls on corsa c's electric, could it be a problem with the controls?
