Default Had coolant leak, HELP!

So I bought my car September 30 and didn't notice the upper radiator hose clamp on the radiator side was not on correctly (was about 4" up the hose). Well it popped off a couple days ago and now my air doesn't get warm (with A/C on or off) and my engine temp which always maxed out at 8 bars is now fluctuating between 12 and 16 bars! I've added Watter Wetter to the radiator until it almost overflows, and filled reservoir with Water Wetter and water, but still happening. I've been running the heat on full blast to get the coolant back in the heater, but still blowing cold air. Can someone help?

Thanks,
Justin

you might have air bubble in the coolant.

Bleed the system. Do a search, others have detailed the steps. I'd also get rid of the 'Water Wetter' stuff and go back to the right anti-freeze. You need the freeze and corrosion protection this provides.

Finally, don't drive it until you fix this, or you could cause major engine damage.
