Were you spraying it in the engine bay at all? First off, check the easy stuff. Check to see if your coolant is low. Then check to see if your thermo is opening. If both of those check out, start feeling your heater core hoses to see if hot coolant is reaching back there.

Also, is there air coming out hot at all? Is anything even blowing? Check those things and report back. Also please place your X's info in your signature, much like mine.

thats quite a bit of coolant you need to get that fixed. if there isn`t much pressure in the system it wont produce heat properly

If you added coolant, you need to bleed your cooling system. Air trapped in the cooling system will result in no or intermittent heat through one or more of your vents inside the car. It's probable that you're down more than 1/4 liter, but you need to bleed the air out.

What light? You didn't mention about any lights or "check" being on in your previous posts.

I still recommend bleeding the cooling system. If you don't know how, there are numerous writeups, but here's a pretty good writeup that I have used in the past:

How to bleed your cooling system - E46Fanatics

It's for an e46, but the steps are identical.
