you probably have an air pocket in the cooling system and the heater core is dry. take the car back to the shop and make the do it over correctly.

Thank you. I will take my car back,but, I don't know how to make them fix this. I know they will deny it. Is there any way that I can prove this to them? Thanx,Judi

They actually should feel compelled to take care of it; air pockets are not uncommon.

It is obviose they do not know Jags, take it to someone who dose. this will save you money in the end. You have an air pocket what needs to be bleed. Dave is right with his advise. They should not have changed the fluid before checking to make sure all your componets are working properly becase now it may be costly to repair and bleed. Be careful Jags can be tricky if the mechanics don't have experiance with them and good luck.
