Hello. I had a new radiator put in my car because of a leak. After the car was serviced it started rattling, smoking exhaust, and transitioning different while driving. I am wondering if this could be happening because the radiator wasn't serviced right? This is the 3rd time this week the car is in the shop. An apprentice was working on it.

The "apprentice" would not have caused emmissions from exhaust by just changeing the radiator he shouldn't have touched anything to cause this. The rattling could be loose radiator. We cannot comment on repairs by other technicians. It could be the leak caused the later conditions? Without phisically inspecting the vehicle we would never know?
