I have come across similar posts but still can't find a solution
I have a Corsa D 2007 at 45,000 miles. Recently started to notice coolant loss, having to top up often mainly after short journeys.
Temp gauge increases to 100/101 usually when in traffic and fan kicks in about this time. Took it to vauxhall as I assumed head gaskit because of the mayo on oil cap, diagnostics came back negative and they said oil of cap is normal even after I do long motorway journeys :-/
Vauxhall said they couldn't find no leaks or loss of water when with them and said they had no signs of gaskit failure.
Vauxhall said they hadn't checked for a crack in the head as this is a costly process.
The car is used for long journeys and as I'm a young female I'm now too scared to do any long distance in case it is something serious, making this car nearly useless to me at the moment. I'm stuck on what to do next really or what to check maybe?
