Don't really matter which one is flow n return you have found the problem, low coolant leading to air locked heater matrix get it filled n bled

OK I can't say its the best way but when ever I get an air locked heather matrix I remove the expansion top dissconnect the heater hose and back fill it with a hose using very gentle pressure from the hose.

Unfortunately, on the L322 I think it does matter which way the heater pipes are plumbed as they use a pair of proportioning valves to vary the heat in the matrix!!

As attached....

These are also what I found one page says heater matrix return labeled A goes to the left hole on manifold. The next page then labels The same hose as to B?

I'm having the same problem and my heating system has got all brand new parts. Top thermostat, bottom thermostat, supercharger auxilary pump, heater control valve, auxiliary pump that feeds the heater control valve, new expansion bottle and flushed the matrix. Did it work after all that oh I forgot I change the ECU on the dash 3 times, did it work did it f#!@k. So how far have you got, the auxiliary pump also feeds the fuel burning heater of which is located under the battery tray and now thinking that's my next port of call . Good luck stay safe
