Hey,
I used to be a member at Corsa C back in the old when I was into modifications and I know how much you guys know about cars so i'm hoping you can help me.
So currently, my problems are the temp gauge keeps going up and down but this only started when I opened the coolant box earlier to see how much was in it. Closed it again, turned the engine on and the gauge now wont stay still.
Secondly, the cooling fan is sometimes always on, from the second I start the car to the second a turn it off. When I turn it off it takes around 5-10 seconds for it to stop. However, I could go to the car now, turn the engine on and the fan wont move. I'll try again in the morning and the fan starts. There doesn't seem to be a regular pattern or something that sets it off.
Thirdly, which is the worrying one, there seems to be quite a bit of "mayo" on the underside of the oil cap BUT I only drive the car about 10 miles per a day and I have read that this mayo could be caused by constant short journeys.
Just some added info that might help you. About a month ago, the car was struggling to start so I took it to the garage. They did a diagnostics test and found these problems -
P0340 - Camshaft Position a circuit malfunction
P0115 - Engine collant temp sensor circuit malfunction
Anti freeze level was low - topped up with FOC
No other faults were found. They replaced the coil pack and spark plugs.
I've got an MOT on May 1st. Hoping its not a serious problem and it can hold out until then.
Any help, advice, little things I could do the try and fix the problem would be much apprecaited.
