2) I can hear a whirring noise when I move the wheel, I assume it's the power steering pump, but is that normal or is it knackered?
3) When I do the rear window jets, it comes out the front?
4) The car seems to be overheating when idling, just started doing it, but it's happening a lot now. Someone suggested it could be a winterstat on the car, and now it's starting to warm up, it could be releasing the hot water too slowly?
5) Central locking from the key fob doesn't seem to work when it's cold. Any ideas?
Your help is much much appreciated  |
1.-Could be heatshield on the mani viabrating or the fuel pump.
2.-This is normal.
3.-This is just a weirde electrical problem that pops up on 106's often.If it aint doing you any harm dont worry about it.
4.-This could be many things. The thermostat could be seized shut leaving the coolant in the engine to get too hot. Check to make sure your fan comes on after anout 10 mins, if not it could be that. Make sure you have coolant in the radiator. Check the coolant for oil or mayo like sludge. Check the oil with the dipstick to make sure its clean and thin after warm up.
Hope This Helps
