Hey Guys,
I have a Fiat Qubo 1.3 multijet Turbo diesel, 2014 plate
Its done 9,500 miles. Its had a front end accident in the past (wheel had come off = Wishbone broken).
Quite possible the radiator had to be removed and refitted.
I see a bleed valve at the back of the engine, that can be opened by hand (a black one with a flat head screwdriver connection too).
I think the other bleed valve is a whitish/creamy phillips turning one on the top of the radiator facing the driver on the off side (driver side). it is a hexagon too, possibly a 13mm ?
The water is not circulating back to the water tank, as the water tank stays cool, yet i drive for 10 minutes and the car gets up to 50% temperature (especially as my journey there is uphill)
Im thinking there is air in the system blocking it circulating (i will try and release the radiator phillips screw tomorrow to see if that lets the water system circulate)
Is there an electrical connection to the water pump or the thermostat that can be causing the block ?
Where is the thermostat and where is the water pump ?
is it common for the water pump to go or is it a seal or something else causing it ?
The fan heaters work okay, and blow hot air quick due to the water not circulating properly
Even the fan turns on to cool the car down if i drive for over 10 minutes etc, and luckily the temp does not go above 50%, which is good, but i still feel the water tank should circulate the water
when facing the engine, a pipe on the right is hot, not sure if the one on the left was hot too..i think it was not..
i dont have much idea about this car as i just bought it and the seller did not seem that helpful, and i need to fix it, as i think it will cause damage long term, if not already.
Would really appreciate some help and advice that could help me get the car water circulation problem fixed
Thankyou !
