Over Heating

Recommended Posts

clifton

my cars keeps overheating every time it gets hot and smoke/steam comes out, and the fan seems to cut in quite late, but also might sound very stupid but should the fan be infront or behind the radiator, and only one fan comes on and it seems to be blowing away from the car but i cant really tell!

 

can someone please help me resolve these problems!

As standard there is only one fan fitted to the GTi & it should blow through the radiator when its on(fitted infront of the radiatior).

 

Have you recently drained the cooling system & if so did you bleed the system when you refilled it?
