Yes, first thing I discovered when new to Vanagon... I put in fresh coolant and the heater blew cold...but the temperature gauge didn't indicate "hot".... I've since learned. Never replaced the heater core. I think.its full of air now. more work today, if leaving the van overnight, nose-up at about 20• slope and open for siphon didn't work.
