Hi people have 1.2 corsa 97 ls . over heats when idle or in slow traffic
Have changed head gasket,thermostat, flushed engine and rad refilled with antifreeze etc checked water pump when head off looked ok and manually pumped water through engine vents no problem. Running out of ideas, oh yes fan works ok cuts in just over 100 is this normal?
