Hi IEP,

You could be right, after scanning, taking it round the block (2 min drive), both fans were running, however the lower hose was much cooler than the top one. I think he needs to find out if the water pump has ever been changed.

Peter

Hi Peter,

Interesting info, if the hoses are at very different temperatures then that does point towards the thermostat. If the pump has failed, the water flow will be reduced but the temperature of the hoses should be the same.

Having said that, If it has been over 60k miles since the last waterpump change then that probably needs to be done anyway.

i am going to go this way,sort overheating problem then try to sort camshaft/whatever problem:D

change thermostsat and maybe engine temp sensor 1st to see any links/pics will help

Edit chassis number etc

I'd scan it again after a few days.

It needs time too find any faults if they re-occur,

And I've edited out your chassis number

HTH

going to do thermastat and temp sensor

thanks to those who replied to my posts

finally got round to changing the thermostat and overheating problem solved thank f..k

been driving around and car seems fine,engine management light is still off !!! abs light comes on after x miles but always goes of when turning car on and of
