overheating

Just wondering if I can have a few opinions on whats gone wrong with my car :confused: Basically, was driving to my mates tonight, drove 10 miles absolutley fine. Had to stop to get petrol. Left the petrol station, 2 minutes later the dash started beeping at me and the temp needle was just...

Here's my story today - been out in the car and turned the air con on for the first time since owning the car. Everything fine and returned home with no problems. A few hours later i go out to the car and find the battery is flat and have to jump start the car. I use the car to go the our local...

Just had cambelt and water pump changed as we bought a car with no service history and it's done just over 100k. Since it's been done the car is blowing cold air out of the heaters and keeps overheating. Phoned the garage who told me to keep an eye on it as it could be the head gasket. When I...

Hey guys, just wondering if this is the right kit for my car (AGN Engine?) eBay: Timing Belt kit (w/ Water Pump) I've done a search and there's somewhat a difference between a plastic impeller and metal impeller waterpumps. What else I'm missing here in the kit? The dealer quoted me for...

I have a Seat alhambra 04 plate.The temperature gauge is reading overheating and i have no heating.Head gasket and water pump are ok.A new thermpstat has also been fitted and system flushed out.Engine doesn't seem to be overheating either.Any ideas what could be wrong anybody?

driving home from work last night on m5, after about 20mins of driving my temp guage went up to 120 (111 on my digital guage) and a warning light came on. pulled over on the hard shoulder and let it cool down (the fan did come on) carried on and the same happened. stopped at hopwood and checked...

Hi. Wondered if anyone could give us some advice with an overheating problem on my '96Ibiza 1.4i. I changed the thermostat (with the help of a mate) as it had broken and initially this solved the problem, although a day later it has come back! After an hour's journey the radiator is stone...

Hello all, I have a 2001 1.9 Tdi Alhambra that has developed an overheating problem of late. Originally it overheated when on motorway journeys (usually when I was going uphill), however of late it can overheat on short urban runs. When the car initially overheated, I put the heating on HIGH...

RIght.. Tootling along and the warning sound for low petrol goes off - look down and a lovely red flashing light and high temp. [:@] So I pulled over at a garage.. and first thing I thought was that the water wasn't pumping round..( HMMMMMM ) fans were on so that was fine.. so...

After yesterdays events with the car overheating to the point where it couldnt get any hotter and steam started appearing from the engine i left the car sitting over night. Im just back from having another good look at it in the day light and from what i can tell its fine now! When starting...

This started the other nite had driven my mum 2 drop something off to a mate on the way back had a quick look at the temp gauge and it was slowly moving to 120 so i pulled over checked water and oil both were fine... thing is if i drive it slow it will sit at 90 as soon as i open up it slowly...

Hiya Everyone, Here's one for you. My 1.4 is overheating but I'm not quite sure why. The headgasket isn't gone because there is no oil in water and vice verse. Also the expansion tank does not lose any water. The car made it to Manchester and back (500 miles) only overheating on the motorway...

I have just been brought home from Hastings in a freezing cold recovery van. My car has overheated twice in the last 2 days. I filled the water resevoir up and as the water temperature gague reaches 110 the water disappears and it boils over and the water resevoir fills with hot water. I am...

Since buying the Passat I've covered about 44,000 miles - and during that time, the temperature guage has stuck firmly at 90º (except when warming up from cold, obviously...) regardless of outside temp, driving style, etc etc. About a week ago, I got a warning on the dash display to "Check...

:(just been for a good blast.....sorry absolute thrash!!:pand just as i wound id up to a hefty speed the temp guage shot up and then it went into limp mode. as soon as temp was norm full boost again,without having to switch ignition off and back on.there is coolant in the reservoir but i...

After a search I have realised my water pump may have gone.:( To check though, the car has been overheating in slow traffic up to temperatures of 120. Turning the heater on manages to bring it down a bit. My coolant levels are fine. I think oil level is good (not sure if related though)...
