Is this an airlock VID-20220513-WA0004.mp4 Airlock methinks

Whoop whoop,so ive managed as a pure novice to strip out the centre console so i could gain access to the heater matrix as i suspected this may be blocked .nothing leaked from it weirdly it was bone dry (red flag)i put a new one in and now i have no coolant warning lights yaaaay no rushback into header tank nothing ,APART FROM NO FUXXXNG heating lol i never had it in begining to be fair ,thats what this whole quest started from ffs .the only thing thats not been changed yet is the thermostat which im aiming to do this week as soon as ive you tubed it hahaha another first for me .i would like to thank everybody that has replied and gave me guidance 🙏

Its funny you should mention that ,in the begining my heaters were not getting hot luke warm but not hot .so i went and bought a thermostat BUT its not been fitted yet .would that cause the coolant to dissapear and the come back then .and thankyou btw

Ive recently lost my job so garage is a no go for me .

In the past six months i have replaced header tank ,water pump intercooler radiator .today i watched it drained ,then i got my coolant warning ,i pulled over it was empty .i undid the cap it refilled instantly ,i got home took cap off again while coolant was still in then fast idled with everything turned on heater etc it drained in about 20 mins and never came back lol i looked under car no visible leaks so i topped it up again .once the engine was up to temp again i left the lid off and the coolant was just overflowing the neck it seemed to burp lol and the coolant level dropped but then slowly rose again until it burped a few more bubbles .it sounds like its under a lot of pressure when it rus hees back into tank .im probs not making sense lol but i can only frscribe it as i see it i have no technical terms .

I have a problem guys and gals .i have a 2010 audi a3 170bhp diesel .my coolant is draining from the header tank but its not filling back up unless i go take the cap off ,then it gushes back in .no leaks either AA did a pressure check all good no leaks .i know sweet FA about cars .any help would be apperciated .
