00 1.9 Water problems - boxer42

Hi The heater matrix went on the Passat soaking the carpets and filling the car with steam ! As a short term measure and until i can locate a replacment matrix i joined the pipes going into the matrix with a copper pipe.
Now the water dose not seem to be circling
around the engine !. The tempreture stays quite cold on short trips but gets hot on longer trips. Any ideas would be appreciated
