i removed the thermostat (euro car part ) only about 3 - 4 month old and the heater only blows cold air did used to here water behind dash when turn car over but not now

ok no gunk on oil filler cap or dip stick ..spark plugs are good not very old but are fine...no leaks on rad car running great no rough idle smooth even the couple hundred yards i drove was smooth not even a shake when turn over ..when i rev there is condensation out the back not a great deal but not thick it evaporates almost immediatly as i say if i add coolant it will rush up to filler cap boiling hot steam and then bubbles.....is there a test i can get and do at home think a sniff test

do you think so matt ? im not sure i bleed the system im going to be honest i no i will get slated but i just opened the cap poured in coolant with engine running ..massaged top and bottom hoses on rad with cap of the espantion tank put in about 3 and half litres waited about 15 mins as it kept rising up and down bubbling hot then droping back down then rising back up again then i put cap on espantion tank drove about 200 yards temp was high..the rad is brand new first time used

ok not had any luck as you no i had problem with timing that is now all done beautiful new belt pullys tensionors ...Also replaced the radiator to yesterday toping up with coolant and with in a minute it was boiling like hot steam coming out header tank really hot.... i used a blue coolant ready made... Drove a hundred and fifty yards and temp gauge was high so pulled over removed thermostat drove back home temp gauge just above the normal ...Could this be head gasket as when i rev i get condensation out the back ... i did used to here water running through the pipe behind dash when i started car up but not any more and heater only blows cold air is this any thing to do with my over heating problem .... when i start the car i can see little steam in about a minute i think it maybe were i spilt coolant on heat wrap on stainless steel manifold......could i not have bleed system properly please help

lol got refund :D
