overheating

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)...

My mum has a 54 plate 1.2 SX that in the past few months has been overheating badly, temp gauge going over 110, water going down very quickly. I don't get to see her very often as she lives an hour or so away so the last time i looked at it when it had cooled right off, i sat with the car...

hi everybody, on a recent trip to wales, i noticed that my temp guage reading was higher than normal, so i eased off back down to 65/70mph at approx 2,500 revs, the temp went back to the normal position of top dead centre, so i waited for 10 mins or so, then went back up to 80mph, which took...

Hi all, Got a bit of an issue with my cupra today. Driving along when temp gauge shot past 120 and three beeps came on. On closer inspection fan is not coming on after car is parked up, checked the fuse and seems fine here. A/C still working as normal. Any ideas if its the water...

Hello all you Leon owners. I have posted this in the Toledo area but as its the same I though I'd try my chances with you people. Would be grateful if you can help. I think there may be more than one issue here. When at speed the air con works perfectly, blasts lovely cold air. But...

I think there may be more than one issue here. When at speed the air con works perfectly, blasts lovely cold air. But sometimes when at idle I get a vibration though the throttle peddle and hear some sort of air lock or noise clearing. Very difficult to explain the noise but it changes...

I have had a quick search but not really found an answer :( Had a rather 'spirited' drive home yesterday and just pulling into the car park the temperature guage went to near 120 and the alarm went off.. The coolant was boiling and the fans werent on... Anyway after playing with the fuses...

Long story short, Two instances in stop/start labouring this week where car overheated. First time to 120°C, second time controlled back to 90°C by cooking the cockpit (Aircon to Hi). Today got in hotter situation with stop/start and car was fine :confused: Ways to check water pump? Mine IS a...

just brought another cupra, noticed when sitting in traffic very quickly the temp gauge goes to 120, as soon as i start driving it cools down to about 90, is this just a fuse or is there a common problem with the fans etc? :shrug:

Was at combe on Saturday sat in a que waiting to get on the stand and previously on the way there my EPC light came on. Suddenly my temperature gauge was upto 120 and the red light was flashing, so engine off and then smoke coming from under the bonnet. Seems the coolent was coming out the...

Not having much luck with my car at the moment! On my way home tonight it started to overheat. Ive had the problem before whenthe fuse on top of the battery burnt out stopping the fans from working. This time the the fans dont appear to be kicking in but the fuse is ok. Could it be the...

Hi after some help/advice! I have got a lcr revoed to 270 bhp. It started to overheat so took it to the garage and they replaced a switch and the waterpump (had the metal upgrade put in). Got it back on friday and took it for a good run. Then after driving really hard last night stopped and let...

Ok I have a weird overheating issue on my LCR. When stuck in traffic the car just creeps past the 90 mark by a few mm and as soon a si drive away it drops back down to the 90. Is this ok or could it be showing signs of a problem? All the over heating threads I have read describe the problem...

Hi people, please help!! About six months ago I started my 03 leon cupra R and the temp light started flashing but engine was cold but I was told by dealer that the coolant level was low but I checked that. Then only a day ago it did it again but it gets worse. I was driving in traffic and it...

My '03 leon cupra R (210bhp) started to overheat on friday and then again on a short journey on saturday. Not wanting to do any damage to the engine and without any obvious problem (checked for leaks and oil and water levels) I pulled over and called the AA. They towed me to a local garage who...

Wonder if you guys could help.. The radiatior in my girlfriend's 1.4 Ibiza had cracked at the corner, coolant everywhere etc.. So I've fitted a new radiator, replaced all the coolant and tested it for leaks..so far so good. Taking it for a spin, or leaving it to idle causes it to overheat...

Hi, Last night on my way home i noticed the temperature needle creeping upwards (Ive never seen it go abouve 90), and then an extremely loud fan came on!! I pulled over for five mins but after another 2 mins of driving it did the same. Checked coolant level which was fine, checked the...
