Is this the 616 with 40mm rad hose that you replaced last week instead
of paying the stealer for OE hose? Buy the china hose to see if it
works, then buy the OE hose to make it work properly?
Cauldron sounds at startup and no cabin heat - that can't be. I doubt
head compromise or water passage blockage - except at some gasket
point, i.e. perhaps head gasket has water passage that is blocked and
is passing combustion gas to the cooling system? Can you get the
off-gas tested for combustion gas? Combustion gas would certainly
heat the coolant.
It's the car that recently had a weekend head gasket party in its honor.
Partygoers were disappointed at not being able to find the break in the old head
gasket IIRC.
