How do you know if you have air in your cooling system?
A nonfunctional car heater is one of the more signs of the presence of air pockets in the coolant system. When you turn the car heater on, no heat will be coming from the vents. Due to the air bubbles, the air could not be pushed out. The trapped air prevents the hot fluid from running into the heater core.
