Hello all and thank you for your help.
I sort of have the same question but slightly different than this one.

Bravo 2 1.4 T-JET
I have just replaced the thermostat and filled up with 50/50 coolant and water in the reservoir up until the plastic marker inside the reservoir. We started the car with cap off and let it idle. I opened the heater and switched off the A/C. After a while the pipe between the thermostat and radiator became very hot telling me the thermostat opened. But, and this is my question: when we opened the plastic drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, no water came out. I know the radiator is not blocked because when I blew on the pipe connected to the thermostat, water came out from the reservoir.
At what temperature does the radiator fan switch on? The fan also switched on.
How can I be sure that the radiator is filled with water?
Thanks for your help.
