I looked at the compressor it has SANDEN on the tag and its silver colour... I think its and aftermarket system, Ive never known my heater to work with the air con, it just blows cold air whether the heater is on or not, so I think i dont have to de-gas/re-gas. does that sound right to you?

Is the core blocked, does coolant flow through the core? Try reverse flushing it for starters.
