Hello All,
I'm having a few problems with my car and was wondering if anyone could help?
I'm obviously going to have the car looked at :hihi, but I was wondering if anyone could give me a heads up on what it might be before I take it to a mechanic (anyone recommend a good garage in North London?).
Other than these little niggles, the car drives perfectly despite it's 110k miles.
1) I've only had this car for about 6 weeks. From when I bought it there was something steaming up from under the bonnet when the car gets warm (Top left corner if you're standing in front looking into the engine bay). I usually start to see it after driving for about 15/20 mins when the car is stationary (traffic lights etc.) Temp guage reads normal.
2) A few weeks ago I noticed the coolant warning light was on so I topped it up with water and it has been coming on and off intermittently every (more on than off)
3) Just today, I noticed that although all other aspects of the heating/climate control system seem to work, it car does not blow warm/hot air (engin warm, temp gauge normal). The air blowing out is not as cold as outside air, but its definatly not warm either. Since the heating stopped working (this morning) I have not noticed any of the steaming mentioned above :confused.
Also, Today the windscreen washer reservoir light came on (even though the tank is half full).
I've been reading that the coolant light being on can be related to the heating not working in some cases... Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Many thanks!
