  ) and my garage seem at a loss (local none Renault garage) but suggest replacing various sensors/part and hoping it solves the problem! Before 'splashing my cash' I was hoping for a little more encouragement that the problem would be solved. Looking at various forums the coolant temperature

  and timing belt change so initially booked it in to an independent but then came across Honda Happiness. This scheme enabled me to get the timing belt changed and a service (including oil, filters, brakes adjusted, coolant changed, sticking tailgate lock sorted and about 30 other items checked) for £200 all
• Citroen saxo 1.4i auto - Sluggish acceleration problems 8 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  also replaced the lambda sensor, coolant temp sensor and crankcase sensor but these didn't make any difference so I went for the complete strip down and replaced the gasket, which despite the current fault sorted the initial running problem out. The car runs perfectly in idle and when you dip
• Chrysler Voyager (1997 - 2001) - 97 3.3 cooling fans won't come on????? 20 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  started up and drove on. The following day, driving through the same area, same thing happened, though this time when the ignition was turned back on, NO fans, so let the engine cool a bit and found a nice bit of 40mph road to cool the beast down. Coolant levels OK! Pump working OK! (as was replaced
• Honda Civic UK (2001 - 2005) - 02 1.6 Engine Temperature problem? 22 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  by some city driving I noticed white smoke from the exhaust. I checked the oil which looked clean and the coolant is unclouded. I noticed that the engine and radiator were warm but not hot. I think that the thermostat has stuck. The car has done 40k and the engine is a vtec which performs very well

• Toyota Camry (2002 - 2006) - 03 .65 A number of questions? 15 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  diagrams. I have looked but I cannot find a good one. Q5. If my bike has only a coolant temperature gauge that only warns you when the bike is overheating, is it possible to install one with an actual gauge. Where can I get a good outdoor gauge from - I've only seen interior ones for cars online? Q6
• Volkswagen Golf V (2004 - 2008) - MK5 1.9 TDi electric heater 22 May 2009 (Forum)
  I'm not sure if this is public knowledge but i found out today that the above car has got an electric heater aswell as coolant heater. From 'research' on the net today there is a 1kw ceramic heater moulded into the dash. For those of you who are thinking wow how do you get that to work
• Clio 1.6 K7M Oil Leak ? 16 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  enough oil to run down and form a drip over time, the oil level is not noticably dropping. I have taken the manifold heat shield off and the only place I believe the oil can be coming from is the head gasket (though I have not ruled out the cam cover) I changed the coolant about three months ago
• A4 1.9TDI Issues 27 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Hi a couple of annoying problems with my '98 a4 1.9tdi(ahu engine), a couple of weeks ago the car developed a water leak which i traced to the plastic t pipe that houses the coolant temperature sensor(think thats the one, 4 wire job blue plug) there was a crack in it which i have now sealed up

  hot for a few minutes then no heat at all. 2 miles from services, dark smoke starts to appear from exhaust. Oil pressure light starts flickering just as we get to exit slip road. Bad news indeed thinks I, engine cuts out at top of slip road. Highways Agency towed us into service area. No coolant
• Peugeot 406 stalling during warmup 20 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  thought that the ECU is perhaps getting incorrect temperature information from the coolant temperature sensor, but when I trakced it down, there is a nice new shiny sensor already screwed into the housing, so someone has tried to fix this before (yep, we?ve just bought this car?.) I might be in luck
• Ford Ka cooling fan/warning light inop 21 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  or warning light coming on (lamp tests OK when ignition switches on). Have run it since then for a few months long & short trips without any problems but have to have heater blowing hot in traffic to keep it cool and would like to fix fan/light. Coolant level has been rock solid so I reckon head gasket
• Under-bonnet checks in test - pointless? 19 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Hi What do people think about the "new" rules whereby learners have to learn how to perform oil/brake-fluid/PAS/coolant level checks as part of their test? On paper, I think it's a good idea - people have an idea and an awareness of weekly/daily checks they have to do to make sure their vehicle
