Hi,

If you have no heat, I suspect there is air in the system. When you refilled the coolant, did you have the bleeder open?

Take a look at the attachments below. They provide the directions for refilling the cooling system. Let me know if that is what was done.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,

Joe
