its obviuosly desgined 2 run just beofre 100oC, because the fan hadent kicked in yet, when it kicked in, it went down, and back up etc.

I had it on a tech2 at vaux yesterday anyway
The fan kicks in at about 95, the engine isn't designed to run at 100, if it gets to 100 then there is a serious problem!


All my mates have Corsa's, and there's all kick in at 100oC. Never had a problem

0110
0230
105

Let me know how ya get on.

Na, i fixed it mate, just needed a bottom pullie and cam pullie, and timing back up again. As i say, tech2 is throwing up the cam shaft sensor. Took it out today and cleaned it but its still the same.

it was working, but as soon as it had cooled the engine, it went bk up 100oC again within a couple of minutes, because it was like 27+oC outside, and i was stood in traffic alot of the time.

White smoke, coming out from under the PAS pump. This lad is bringin a tech2 home from vauxhall today. EML light isnt on anymore.

Cant be headgasket, my mates went on his X14, and it still ran, but just drank water, mine doesnt even rev!

started it up saturday, all fine, was a warm say so it was near the 100oC mark for a hour or so whilst drivin around.

When pulling off, it felt flat, so i just thought it was the filter sucking in hot air, but it carried on 2 get worse. I got 2 a junction wich was slighty up hill, went 2 put my foot down and it would take ages 2 rev up 2-3k, once it got to 3k or so, u let the clutch and it would die back down. So i pulled over, EML light came on so i turned it off, smoke coming out of the bonnet. left it for 10-15mins, started it and its now ticking over at 125rpm sounding like a chopper, wont even rev up. :boggle:

Please help :lol:

X16XE btw. ERG valver was replaced 2k ago
