overheating

Hi, I had driven my LCR about 2miles and before I knew it my temperature alarm was going off, it was at 120. So i pulled over, left the engine off for about a minute, started it up again and it was at 90 (normal). Got about 400 meters and pulled into a garage, the temp was at about 100 when I...

I have a chipped LCR which has started overheating when doing motorway driving at high speed. Temp rises very quickly but if you take your foot off the throttle it cools again very quickly. There is no loss of power, oil is fine, water crystal clear. Could it be a faulty thermostat? Anyone had a...

Help!!! On my journey to work today my temp gauge went up to 120 and the alarm sounded and light flashed. I pulled over onto the hard shoulder and checked for water etc and all seamed ok. I then ran the engine for a bit and for some strange reason the engine temp returned to the normal...

Had the cam belt / tensioner changed dec05, and recently had waterpump / thermostat changed, and broke down 2 weeks ago. They think it is the HEAD GASKET. Only done 66 k miles [ V plate ] one owner from new and no other mechanical problems before. questions : 1 could the cause stem...

:cry: stuck in traffic when i noticed the temp gauge shotting upward. pulled over and opened the bonnet. The water tank was bubbling like a kettle.. so i released the pressure and waited for the car to cool down. The aircon has also stopped working... checked all the fuses and all seems to...

At the end of a long trip last night in my Leon Cupra I noticed whilst driving at 90mph there seemed to be virtually no power in 5th and 6th and also the temperature gauge went up from the normal half way point to about 3/4. When dropping back down to about 80mph temperature returned to 1/2 way...

Hi all, My Leon Cupra 180 has started to overheat when running for any length of time in the turbo range. It also loses power / boost. If I reduce revs the temp falls back very quickly and I can set of again with full power until the temp rises again. I checked the fans come on correctly etc...

I have a 2002 Leon Cupra (180). Driving along the motorway yesterday the temperature rose to 120 and the alarm sounded (as you would expect). When I turned the engine off it went straight back down to the usual 90 but as soon as i drive above 65mph again the temperature starts to increase...

Last night, whilst driving home from work, a loud beeping woke me from the evening rush-hour tedium. I noticed the engine tempertaure gauge was reading >110 and the light was flashing. Luckily I was very near a service area, which I coasted into, and switched the engine off as soon as I could...
