Heating problem

[DxmaSonxM]

So two days ago I start my car after it has been sitting for a week, I let it sit for a few minuets and then I turn on my heat and I get nothing but freezing cold air. I let it warm up to where the needle is at halfway and still no warm air. Prior to this when I parked my car a week ago I heard a bubbling sound coming from under the hood. Does anyone know what might be wrong? I also have a coolant leak but I believe its the feed line for the turbo.

Check your fluid level. If you have air in your system it won't allow for proper hear to dissipate into the heater core for your heat

Yeah, make sure you check and fill your radiator and overflow reservoir. If you're getting no heat, you probably are pretty low on coolant.

My fluid levels seem fine. The reservoir is at the full mark.

And you're full in the radiator too? Or did you just assume you were ok because the overflow reservoir was full?

If both are full, you might have a clogged heater core then.

Possibly an air pocket caused by your coolant leak, fix the leak first, then fill and bleed your system.

It's been pretty cold there right? I would guess your thermostat is stuck wide open. Try buying a new one if your fluid levels are good.

No the radiator bone dry should have look at that.

Yeah, that'll do it everytime.

One other question regarding a "heating problem". My hatch doesn't close correctly so when you are looking at my car from the back the left side is up a little so there is a gap between the hatch and the car. The right side is perfecly fine but the left wont seal. Would the hatch its self be to blame?

Are you sure you don't have anything in the way, keeping it from closing on the one side? What is it hitting on or is there anything that is keeping it from going all the way down? If there is nothing it is hitting on or that is keeping it up, I don't know what it would be besides the hatch being bent/twisted.

Here are a few pictures I just took. As you can see its not closing completely on the left side. No there is nothing in the way of it closing.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

I'd say your hinge might be bent on that side.

Thats what im thinking. But ive never heard of anyone having this problem so I thought I would ask. I guess now I have to search for someone parting out or a junk yard one thats my cars color or black. This car has been a pita to me but I still love it.
