shanec Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Hi guys, My 2004 1.9 galaxy is heating. when i was driving i noticed that the temp hand was rising above 90. it continued until it reached its max at 130 and the warning light came on. is it likely that it could be the thermostat sensor or could it be a cracked head. the heaters in the car are also blowing out cold air. we're not losing any coolant, would this rule out a cracked head. Thanks in advance folks!! Quote
adie_morris Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 My money is on good old water pump impellor fell off again! if i had a pound for every one lol. Also stuck thermostat would cause similar problem, although I suspect your heater would be warm. Don't think it's faulty temp sender, due to your cold heater and the fact your gauge takes a little while to rise. Very unlikely to be cracked head if no coolant loss. Hope this helps, and sorry for the bad luck ! Ade Quote
Mirez Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 As above, perfect symptoms of water pump failure. Cracked head is unlikely but make sure you don't let it heat up to 130 again, ideally drive it as little as possible until its been diagnosed and fixed. Quote
