Hi guys,
I need some guidance guys. I feel like
My car has developed a problem today and I don't know what it could be. I have a BEX 1.8T.
It all started yesterday. The engine management light came on yesterday and the car seemed to loose power, so I took note and drove accordingly. The next time I cold started (the same day a few hours later) the cars the fans seemed to kick in straight away which I thought was a little odd as I can't remember noticing it before. But to be honest I have never been on the lookout for this, anyway last night I was driving and the RED COOLANT WARNING came up and I noticed the temperature was 110 degrees, was my reaction so I pulled over straight away. I noticed that the radiator fans weren't working. I put the hot blowers to cool the car off (engine running) on but they soon went cold.
Is it the headgasket?? I'm not sure as the system hasn't lost and coolant and isn't pressureised!!
Could it be the plastic impeller on the waterpump has broken?? I'm really not sure.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS
