Booked in for cam belt and water pump change on Monday, hopefully that is the problem, but that isn't a job I fancy doing myself!

Did that earlier after some more reading, it is black as black can be! I did notice that even with the engine being rev'd there is no water coming in via the hose at the top of the water bottle, would that be indicative of a faulty pump? Does anyone know any good garages round Southampton to do that work as it sounds like a major job. Have phoned Peter Cooper and Sparshatts already, and they want a pretty hefty amount just for diagnosis.

I cleared all the codes and took it for a spin, the error didn't come back after driving for a while. I only have the single wire ones back. Could the fact I'm not getting any hot air through the blowers be related to this, as in should the coolant be directed somewhere that it isn't going? I took temperature and maf readings while driving around, it is available here https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7012825/LOG-33-16-05-xx-xx.CSV I'm not sure if there is anything unusual in the maf readings, but the coolant temp seems to regulate itself normally for a certain amount of time and then decides to shoot up.

Hi all, back again after replacing the Stat and coolant temp sensor. The problem now seems to be more erratic after a drive around, the temperature will shoot up but then seems to cool down again, and does this several times until it gets hot enough to throw the warning light. I have noticed that since replacing those parts I've needed to top up the coolant after it has cooled down. There are no leaks so I'm guessing air in the system? Either way my local garage wanted £87 to run a scan :wonder: so I bought a cable myself. I ran the auto tests and these are the results. I've seen the Ross wiki but I'm hoping for a layman translation!

100 degrees hot, it was a saucepan of boiling water :-)

Stat doesn't appear to function in hot water so new one ordered, fingers crossed

Nope, they were going this morning when the issue first happened though

That's correct

Hi all, ok I tried the above for about an hour the level never went down, in fact it kept rising and lowering (I guess expanding as it heats up then cools again) Eventually the water tank just boiled over and lots of water came out of the bottom left as well, any further ideas based on this? Thanks

It could probably do with a change to be honest, but I'll try the suggestion from vRSsunroof first otherwise I will search around for some instructions on bleeding it and try that next. Thanks for all the suggestions so far folks.

It's a 1.6 petrol, I have a VW garage up the road, wonder if they would run diags for me.

Sorry, should have mentioned that I checked the coolant levels and these seemed to be fine, ta.

Hi All! When it is cold my coolant temperature warning light comes on, but usually goes away after restarting the car. This morning the same thing happened, but when I restarted the heater stopped working, and then after about a mile the temperature gauge shot up to the max when it normally holds steady at 90. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
