Problem after fitting rad...

Problem after fitting rad...
My guy changed the rad the other day on the motor,but now if I turn the heating to cold it stays hot ! Plus the two fans housed in the rad don't come on,left the car on for 5 mins but still didn't come on...But more importantly is why the heating is hot when set to cold but worked perfect before the new rad.
Cheers

The heating i cant answer. The fans come on at a set temp. In the 90's from memory so just leaving it 5mins isnt proof there not working. Has the car over heated? Whats the temp guage doing?

did you empty and flush the old rad out most likey the rad was blocked with crap the reason it took so long to heat up,
where as the new rad is completley clean and making it heat up faster leave it running till the temp raches its proper mark and the fans kicks in
the hot and cold situation is the flap that shuts off the heat from the heatermatrix rad behind the dash working properly

The header tank,I was also told to fill up the plastic one by the battery (the over-flow one)
I don't know if it connected,but for the first few days when I stop after a few mins driving water would leak near the oil filter and **** loads of steam would appear...This has now stopped,but the header tank was and still is FULL to the brim.

the hot/cold issue is to do with the temp control on the dash which works the heater matrix, bit funny how it only started with the new rad being fitted though,. anyway how come you got banned for 15 days,,lol

1. Drain out ALL old coolant.
2. ENSURE HEATER IS SET TO HOT, flush out system.
3. Leaving heater on hot, refill via the REAR pipe off the metal header tank, V E R Y S L O W L Y, using a funnel, DO NOT allow it to gulp air in. Mine took over half an hour to fill.
Replace rear pipe, top up metal header tank, run engine with header tank cap OFF until it gets hot, topping/mopping up as necessary, watching for bubbles.
Once it GETS hot, replace header tank cap, drive round block, allow to cool, check and top up as necessary.
Two points: ALWAYS do ALL this with the heater set to hot.
There IS NO WAY to successfully bleed an Impreza coolant system
