    Hi all, I'm new here. We have a Meriva Exclusiv 1.4 from 2012. It was my in-laws and sat mostly unused during the first lockdown. A few months ago the car overheated. We noticed there was no coolant so filled it up (though it took A LOT of pressure to open the cap!) Not long after, we noticed...

    Hi, I have a 2015 Insignia which has started to get hot rather quickly, it's not overheated yet as such but it's hot in minutes so I assume it will cook itself ultimately if it is an engine fault. After driving just 2 miles rather gently the temperature gauge is almost at the point it would be...

    I've seen a few posts with the same issue but am yet to find a fix for mine. In desperate need of advice as to what to troubleshoot next. So far I have checked fuses and relays and fuse box lines themselves with a multimeter and they seem to be fine. The fan itself works and comes on with...

    Hi everyone I truly hope someone can help me solve this mystery… earlier this year I bought a 2010 corsa 1.4 manual petrol. Never had any major issues with the car until I tried to drive a longer distance than usual a few months ago. The coolant was bubbling and evaporated entirely and the...

    Bought second hand Zafira (2016, 1.4T Petrol) in July. On September got a warning light for overheating engine. Checked coolant level and saw it was low, assumed dealer had neglected to fill it, but to make sure put it into a local garage, who told me I actually needed to replace the overflow...

    So I have a 2006 Astra 1.6 Twinport that overheats. It has had a new coolant sensor and new coolant however nothing has changed. The fans refuse to kick in even at 112° however the fans have been tested and do work! Any ideas on a next move?

    Hi, I've noticed a few issues with my car lately, and I don't know if they are all linked or just a coincidence. I have a 2016 Insignia Sri 2.0 CDTi eco I pay quite a lot of attention to my MPG (average and instant), and have noticed that on some trips (not all), the instant mpg is much lower...

    Hi folks, I’m hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction I bought this as a cam chain guide failure, put a recon head in it, new chain kit/head gasket etc and it’s running great. Half way through the job I found why the chain guides had prematurely failed - it had got HOT...

    Hello I bought a second hand car (Opel Astra J 2012 1.7CDTI 110hp) and found out it has a problem. It gives a false overheating warning where the temperature goes from 90 to 130 degrees. The power of the engine reduces and I go from 120 km to 90 km per hour. I went to the garage and they...

But minutes after driving the car it has almost heated up then starts over heating. I have to sit with the heaters on to keep the gauge down...
