Engine cooling system.....?

[iwannasaxo]

Hi guys my cooling system seems to be running constantly. Once i stop the engine it can run for up to 10 minutes. Whilst driving the temp guage is constantly nearer to red. Is there anything i can do about this. Please let me know cheers! :D :y:

maybe headgasket?

Maybe needs a bleed as has an air lock?

You got any 'gunk in your coolant'?

Wicked cheers guys! Much appreciated. Forgot how helpful everyone on here is! jus wandering will it be expensive to get done or is it an easy DIY job?

bleeding is a diy job - headgasket is either really, get the haynes and use info on here and is easy to do yourself

Brilliant cheers mate. Hopefully will sort the problem. Thought it was something to do with the coolant as sometimes the radiator bubbles. think i might take it in for a quick check over and a service as i only got it about 3 weeks ago.

Yeh sounds good - the haynes manual is a good investment, I wouldn't be scared about working on your car, just take your time and do things logically and you'll be fine.

A headgasket is easy to do if it is that !

As far as i know the fan kicks in at the right time. And about working on the car! I am not really mechanically minded lol might be worth giving it a go though just to save some money. Thanks for all your help guys.:y:

as said your best bet is to get a hanyes manual and just take your time
