The tempreture in my car boosts up to the red mark within 10mins of driving, i have checked the water levels every time i put in antifreeze (or water), it just runs out within 10mins. There are no leaks at all, i drained and flushed the radiator. But still having the same problem. Can anyone help please??

faulty sensor?

 

[vimz175]

The sensor is fine, any idea why the water keeps going or where it goes?

the coolant runs out after 10 minutes?

does the fan come on?

 

[gtc]

you have a leaky radiator, or pipes

or the thermostat isn't opening.

 

[vimz175]

yea the fan comes on its much louder than usual?

 

[gtc]

have you turned the car on, on your driveway and tried to see what's happening. That's by far the easiest thing to do.

 

[vimz175]

yep iv had the car running for 10mins on my drive but no sighns of leaks or nothing like that

 

[gtc]

any white stuff under the oil filler cap?

 

[vimz175]

no white stuff there either oil is full as well

sounds like u got a big air lock in the system! how many times have u filled it up?

 

[vimz175]

about 10 times now, how do you get rid of an air lock?

 

[Graeme]

wont be an airlock if u have filled it that many times

is there steam coming out of your exhaust? sounds like the same problem i had on my cav.. just a slight crack in the head gasket was letting all the water into piston 4 but none into the oil.. fill it up again and get someone to rev the car while you stand behind and check for steam coming from the exhaust...

mine looses water, but i think there is a small leak somewhere, but no way can mine leak so much, so im thinking could mine be the gasket too, im loosing power as well

 

[KaneSXi]

this happened to me today told the water pump is leaking or something

 

[LEE]

yeah could be the water pump

 

[vimz175]

Is there any way of physically checking if it is the water pump, when i took it down to the local garage he just had a quick glance at it and couldnt find nothing wrong...?

take it to a better garage and have them have a good proper look over it even vauxhall
