  1. OK thanks Russats pretty sure mine isn't working then which could be part of my problem! Going to Garage tomorrow for diagnostics check re my right indicator not working so will mention it.

  3. P.s is there a cooling fan in the diesel engines as I don't believe I've actually ever heard 1, even when it overheated!? I have Def heard the fan running after the engine is switched off in other cars I've had (petrol engines)
  4. Chrispb The coolant does come out by the cap and there is still pressure when cold.not tried running the engine with the cap off. Heater doesn't go cold. No water in oil, no oil in water (just some rust where we've had no antifreeze in it), no white smoke. It's been pressure tested which was fine and a mechanic I know said he doesn't think it is the head gasket. He had it idling for 3 hours and it didn't overheat once or loose water. We traveled 120 or so miles on Monday at a steady speed 65/70 mph. No overheating or coolant loss. However on the way home Huby decided to do 80mph and almost instantly the car overheated and when we pulled over you could see where coolant had come out by the cap and when we removed the cap loads bubbled out. I don't believe the thermostat was changed and I have brought 1 to put in the car. I am really hoping it's not something as drastic as the head but is there a definitive way to check?
  5. Our 1.9tdi Galaxy overheats and looses water when traveling at 80mph. It seems fine at lower speeds. Mechanic doesn't think it's the head gasket. The water pump has been changed and a new radiator cap fitted. Anyone know what this could be?
  6. I have a problem with my right indicator not working properly. When I indicate right the indicator may work normally for a few seconds then go so fast it barely has time to illuminate, then click on normally, then back to fast etc. Hazards may flash perhaps twice on the right side before stopping all together. Left side works fine. None of the bulbs are out and from what I can see there is only 1 fuse for both indicator's and the hazards so surely it can't be that or it wouldn't work at all. Also the alarm is randomly going off for no reason (this is a more recent thing)
