• Honda Shuttle/Odyssey (1995 - 2000) - 1999 2.3 Holds 2nd gear in kick-down 25 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  think so though. Car is going to my local indy at the end of the week for a full service. Will ask hime to change all fluids incl. auto oil, brake fluid coolant etc. Don't mind spending quite a bit on this as I bought it cheap and love it.
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 1999 1.8 (petrol) engine oil level 17 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I took my Ford Focus into the Ford garage yesterday to have the rocker cover gasket repaired as it had a slight leak. They also topped up my engine oil and coolant. When I checked the oil level first thing this morning (before running the engine), on level ground, it was slightly above the max
• Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - TDCi "transient overboost" -- what triggers it? 8 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  if the pedal is 'stabbed' quickly, over a certain defined range of pedal travel? --> is it only available in certain conditions (i.e. coolant / oil temp above a certain range, exhaust gas temp in a certain range etc) I would have thought the driver has to actively initiate it with a determined right foot
• Audi 80 Mk II (1991-1995) - 2.0E 93L - Battery running flat 26 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  and getting one which costs 12 pound roughly. Luckily I had a old radiator which had one in also i put fresh coolant in and you wouldnt believe the mucjk that came out. Took an hour to replace and very simple on mine with limited mach knowledge and a haynes manual This will probably be the case for most
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 02 TDCI fan cycle duration. 23 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  then go off for about 15 seconds and so on. If the outside temperature is colder, it barely ever comes on but if it does the same sort of pattern is followed. Clearly this is not doing any major harm as it has done it for the last 100k as far as I remember and it does not lose coolant or anything
• 99 Mercedes C220 CDI temperature rise 4 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  in traffic as soon as the road clears the gauge goes back to normal or sometimes slightly lower than normal. The antifreeze/coolant hasn't been changed for 2.5 years would that make any difference, and has the fan got 2 speeds as while it is turning quiet fast and you can't see the fan blades it really
• popping inside engine, peugeot engine 10 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  think Ive tracked it to pot1 as when it happens pot 1 has a brighter flash down the gunson colour tune. Im struggling to work out what it is. The head has just been rebuilt so is known good in all aspects, compression test shows up nothing untoward, oil pressure is spot on, coolant is dead level, fuel
• Clio 1.2 Erratic running 19 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  weeks and had trouble getting it going when he came back, had to take the battery off a couple of times before it would start and run. At idle it occasionally misses, but a couple of times it just refuses to respond to the throttle, usually coming back after a moment or two. I wondered about coolant
• Morons. 16 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  switch was for, about 30-40% had no idea what the air-bag failure warning light was and a similar proportion couldn't identify the coolant temperature gauge! The mind boggles.
• omega 2.0 engine 26 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  change 2 weeks ago and the oil was ok no water or coolant. have read the conversations and am thinking about the engine centre in stratford london , has any one used them and what are they like can i trust them , i live in cambridgeshire if you know any where else better, cheers,
• 306td...no ignition?? 29 May 2004 (Forum)
  fuel through as the glow plugs get damp if you crank the engine by hand. The glow plugs have been checked and are glowing as expected. There is no pressure coming back through the coolant and you can here it 'popping' through the exhaust as it is turned over. The fuel pump has not been disturbed so
• Spurious VW leak 9 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  if any of the recnt work I've had done could have resulted in this. Could it be an AC coolant leak? I'm quite unaware of the possibilities so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thx. S. PS My temp gauge has not been working for a while now, still waiting for VW to check it out and let me know what
• Mazda 3 - Thermostat choices and cooling fan 3 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  Hi everyone, I've just recently got a 2006 Mazda 3 , 2.0 sport, and wondered if anyone could answer a few questions for me. The coolant temp is only running at an average of 56°c, so I know I have to change the thermostat which I plan on doing at the weekend
• Any water-cooled, probably, though its complicated - Sonax Radiator Rust Preventer 23 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  Be replacing my coolant soon, since I had to do an emergency top-up with flaky water from a hose, and I will lose some more if I get the temperature sensor out for testing. Seems stuck. I could only get cheapo green stuff with Chinese writing on it last time, from RT-Mart, and I’m
• Ford Focus 2003 - Heater Matrix? 22 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  in in the meantime? (Assuming I keep the coolant topped up and manage to actually see that is?) Thanks, any advice firstly on whether this sounds like the real problem and also the other questions. Thanks very much Ste.
• Vauxhall Corsa C - Hissing sound under the bonnet 18 Dec 2016 (Forum)
  thing happens when I brake and as soon as I ease off the brakes, the sound comes back. The brake fluid, coolant and oil levels are all fine so I'm suspecting it may be a burst hose? The engine check light has come on as of today and luckily enough the garage that I got it from is willing to sort it out
• Nissan Qashqai - Prang - damage not immediately obvious 2 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  My car's EM light came on a couple of weeks ago - AA said it was a DPF issue. Tried regeneration the DPF myself but no joy, so took it to the garage. Garage have now discovered a damaged intercooler, leaking coolant (and leaking AC) afftecting the turbo, which is likely why the DPF
• Citroen C4 - Stop oil pressure low, just had head gasket repair 20 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  Hi I have a Citroen c4 56 plate 77k miles on the clock. I had a blown head gasket as my oil was leaking into the coolant. Had this repaired at the garage and they also changed the cam belt. 2 days later, covering only 50 miles on short distances the car started cutting out when the engine got hot
