Heater broken?

My heater just blows cool all the time, any my idea what this could be?
I've been topping up the coolant for a while and the exhaust is very steamy on start up. Hoping it's not HGF again.

Hmm its not sounding good.

Are you sure the cable for the heating control is working?

Well it gets warm eventually after 20 minutes, but not hot.

thermo sticking? id check the cable under the dash too

There does seem to be a ticking coming from the dash when the blowers are on.

could be a leaf stuck in the blower but that wouldnt cause a heating issue

Was your heater on to the max when you were topping it up? Is there a chance you have an airlock somewhere in the system?

Just topped up and only a litre went in. Not an awful lot in a year.
