Re: no hot air
I'm guessing you flushed the system due to a problem (sludge??)
It could be that your flushing attempt didn't get as far as the heater matrix, and that is still blocked, or you moved some of the sludge from the rest of the system into the heater matrix. So I would take off the heater hoses and flush just the heater matrix and try again (without the radweld)
