did you open the bleeder valve?
with the car running, are you able to get hot air withthe heater on? If no hot air, then there is air in the heat exchanger. Either way, you need to bleed the system by letting the air out.
The bleeder valve is under the false floor where you fill the oil and water.


check and fill the coolent level when the car is cold. Use porsche coolent or the other approved types. usally the "lifetime" and "add to any color coolent" are ok. after you fill it, open the bleeder, then go drive the car for 20 min. allow it to cool fully and then top off the coolent tank if needed. Leave bleeder valve open for a few days.

Only open the tank when cool, otherwise it will over flow and you have to start over.

Make sure the top is on tight.
