Air in the heater core? Pressure test.

3. Engine coolant temperature too high -- light is lit; pointer on the right

4. Temperature sensor at water outlet faulty -- light flashes rapidly (1 Hz) ; pointer on the right

Light is not flashing but on constantly

I'd be concerned about the sloshing noise. Carpet wet in the frunk?

Don't think it's debris as it's quite clean in the rads. All carpets dry

Worth a look, as temp control of the heater is a little erratic
