Hi All,
New to the forum, but have been scanning the pages over the past few days for solutions to the problem below.
I was driving on the motorway 4 days ago when the injector light came on, at this point I noticed the temp gauge was all the way to the top. I slowed down and the light went out as the temp started to drop.
Over the past few days the car has only been used for essential journeys until I have a chance to look at it, which will be tomorrrow. The injection light has not come on again (I suspect it only came on as the engine had got so hot the first time) however the gauge is still showing the engine running too hot.
Pointers:-
Ran the engine today until the temp gauge was up to normal (4-5mins) felt the radiator - cool to the touch.
Heaters in the car are working fine.
Checked oil - looks fine (no white bits).
Fan still comes on after the car has been running for a while.
When the temp goes up there fells to be a loss of power.
I am hoping this means it is just an air lock in the system, which I will try and bleed tomorrow. Other ideas are a blockage or hopefully at worst a thermostat problem.
Any hints/advice/pointers welcome.
Do Haynes have a manual for the Marea?
