overheating

I have a Leon FR MK4 and since the day i got the car the sunroof panel overheats in the summer and stops working along with the sunroof itself repeatedly opening and closing on its own, this is making the car a hell to drive in summer (and i live in a very hot country), the dealership...

Hi everyone, First time posting here so grateful for any responses. I have noticed that my radiator fan on my car isnt kicking in at all. So far I powered it directly from the battery and it does work. But bridging two of the three pins on the radiator temperature sensor does not start. I am...

Hi all, Thanks for looking into this post. I have come across the problem with cooling in my 1.8t 2006 ibiza fr. The car started to burst the coolant from the cooling reservoir when stationary in traffic during the summer. I am doing very short journeys so i am not desperate to fix it but it...

HELP.... Well last night half way along my journey i was presented with a lovely little beep along with my water temp shooting up to 130. I managed to slow down and come off the motorway and it cooled down to 90. This allowed me to limp home. I went out to have a look today, topped up...

Done a search on the many overheating threads but im a little confused? Last night was driving to football training, stopped at the garage on route and about 1/2 mile down the road beeping temperature gauge and flashing light pulled over and opened the bonnet letting it cool down.. and it...

Hey all, was in my car today, in some traffic and my engine just went mental (coolant dial went past the red line and the mfa said that oil temperature was Reading 122 degrees) :( My instant thought is that it might be the headgasket (oil and water mixing and making it go nuts) but the engine...

Hi all, Not had the car long, but it has started overheating. I changed the thermostat yesterday and it still seems to be overheating, I am guessing either an airlock or the water pump, and ideas. The radiator isn't getting warm when it overheats and the header tank fills right up. The top...

2002 170BHP V5 with 76k. Normally temp gauge sits bang on the center and moves very little. Today it crept up 1 mark past the center line after sitting in near stationary traffic for over an hour. Once I started moving it dropped and settled back in the center again. Is this anything to...

Hi, my 06 1.8T 20v cupra started overheating last night. Im replacing the thermostat tomorrow but its got all the signs of waterpump failure. :cry: Can anyone recommend a good cam belt + metal waterpump kit? Cant relly find anywhere to get one in the UK and very reluctant to go to seat. Thanks

If I repeatedly pile on the brakes from 80 or so while driving hard on my little S the brakes start to overheat and get shitty! Is it the discs or pads that are overheating? I think it is the pads glazing over? Would better pads sort me out until I get a Cupra /find a cheap hub + disc and pad...

Temp keeps going up Coolant way over the MAX mark and boiling Bleeded the rad to find an epic amount of air came out but even when it's all gone there still seems to be air in there Any ideas guys? Just a block in the pipes or head on the way out? Mike

Hi, my car started beeping at me today as I was driving and I saw that the water temp gauge needle had hit max. I slowed down and the needle started dropping again. The coolant levels are fine and there's no leaks, but if I go over about 30mph the needle starts to go up again :(. Also power...

My R-Reg 1.4 overheated some months back and I had to get a tow. Turned out there was a problem with the fan, plus the thermostat had packed up. The car worked fine for a few months but has recently started overheating again. It's drinking the water from the cooling system completely within...

Hi ive had a problem with my seat ibiza 1.4s 1999 overheating i have narrowed it down to the fan censor ,by bridging the terminals that go to the bottom of the fan, ive found out the fan is ok ,is the censor located on the engine or the bottom of the fanfan ( where i removed the wiring plug from )

Hi all, advice needed, :help: Last night whilst heading home the temp gauge started flashing and beeping. Pulled oiver and switched engine off. Plenty water in system, fans still working, no cracks around rad, however i could see water spray around the side mount? :shrug: Basically on...
