your thermastat might be gummed up try remo ving it and checking it should be located on radiator hose closest to motor or your control unit might be fried
Sounds like the water pump is cavitating . Replace water pump. Check coolant level also. Open the bleeder valve usually located on thermostat housing to remove air from system. close valve when coolant is present while filling. close radiator cap and top off recovery bottle to correct level. These engines are prone to overheating, do not let temp gauge get in the red.
The performance of the heater indicates low coolant level. Pretty strange about the multiple water pumps, but if is is under warranty, you need to keep going back to the dealer. They must be missing something...
I think you could be right about there being air trapped in the system. Or the heater core(radiator) is plugged. Either way you need a pressurized radiator coolant pump to put the coolant in without air being trapped. Although,i have seen it done by jacking the vehicle up high enough that the radiator was now higher than the heater core level, and then the coolant was put in. But this is dangerous to try.
IF U ARE TRYIN TO GET THE HEAT U CAN DO 3 THINGS
1. TURN HEATER ON THE FACE/FEET POSITION AND PLACE ON HIGH, TAKE THE RADIATOR CAP OFF AND CONTINUE TO POUR WATER/COOLANT UNTIL HEAT GETS HOT
2. CHECK/REPLACE THERMASTAT
3. CHECK/REPLACE HEATER CORE
Sounds like either your thermostat, which is the least expensive and easiest thing to change, or your water pump, or clogged radiator, which is a whole new world! The reason it wont blow hot, is because you are not getting any water to the heater core. Hope this helps.
