smell inside the water bottle, if it smells like exharst fumes then head gasket, or buy a test set there about £10.

Is there any mayo like subsatnces in the oil?

If its overheating straight away sounds like the headgasket.

my corsa is overheating after 5 mins

heating is cold in the car..

not the fan switch , replaced...
not the thermostat, replaced....

got someone to look at it who normally does my repairs, he looked over it and said the water flow is ok and there is pressure in the system

I asked him if the pump could have gone, he tells me they normally leak and they hardly ever go.

Vauxhall told me about 12 mths ago that my head gasket needed doing but the fault was something else instead....

The guy now says that my head gasket is gone.....

What do you guys think and can anyone offer their services , or give some advice on a cheap garage, i live in Oldham


Thanks
