hi. just wondering ,if you are at running temp,if there is a thermostat fitted or it's jammed open so the coolant won't get heated enough to get car heating,as you haven't had car long could be worth checking

check the thermostat,206 won't have airlock because the coolant bottle is higher than the water pump which mean all the air goes out in the bottle itself.
