Good points brought up on this so far. So lets summarize what could be causing the low/no heat problem is: 1. Bad thermostat- If heat comes out of your rear heater then the thermostat should be OK. 2. Air bubble in system- This is why Bentley says to open the heater valve when bleeding the coolant system (do I hear a "dough" right about now?). 3. Possible coating of interior of heater core with Bar's Leak, etc.- This stuff has been known to coat the inside of heater cores and radiators, killing the heat transfer properties of both.
