I recently replaced a metal water hose that runs across the top of the
engine (1.9l).  After refilling the cooling system and attempting to bleed
the air out my engine doesn't seem to get up to temperature.  The guage used
to sit in the middle, on top of the coolant level indicator.  Now, after
running it for at least 1/2 hour it guage barely goes to the coolant level
indicator.  The rad won't come on either.  It's getting pretty cold where I
live now but from past winters the temp gauage was reading hotter than
today.

any ideas........
