I've got a bizarre issue with my coolant, I thought I had major engine issues with my 207sw it was burning oil badly & losing coolant signs of a possible head gasket fail, turns out my engine issue was all down to a faulty lambda sensor & poorly functioning vvt solenoid (both replaced & now...

Hi all, I have a 2010, 1.6L sportium Auto Petrol Hatch. I noticed some smoke coming from the engine, of late. Today I double checked the coolant I have been using and Supercheap Auto website said this coolant wasn’t suited for my car. I’m going to see if a mobile mechanic can come out and do a...

Hi everyone, I have recently became an owner of 206cc 2.0 136hp...

Hello! I have an odd problem with my 2014 pre facelift 508 with the 156hp 1.6l thp engine. One day the engine got up to temp so that the fan had to kick in on high. Nothing special, usual when sitting in traffic. But the thing is, now when I turn on the engine, it still thinks that the engine...

Hi Im pretty sure my coolant sensor is jiggered, my 207 runs like the “choke is out” and the engine fan comes on very soon after starting so the engine runs cool at about 70. I’ve ordered a new one, the videos on YouTube show the location but I don’t seem to have the same type. We’re supposed to...

Hi all, Had my 2009 308 1.6 Petrol Verve about a year, now my memory isn't perfect but pretty sure the heater and demister was working perfectly when I first got it. Now however, I can't get any consistent heat from the heater, which also means I can't demist the screen when it does mist up...
