Coolant "cause for concern"

noticed the radiator fans working overtime the last couple of days and a couple of strange noises coming from the engine bay. Today coolant temp went from 0 to 118 in about 5 minutes then stayed between 113 and 118. stopped for a few moments. engine back on coolant at 73, within 200m back up to 118. Had to be low loaded to garage. Not looking too good but not heard from garage yet. Anyone else had a similar problem. Hoping it will be under the warranty, but I hit a road cone a month ago and broke splitter. Got a feeling that they may try and blame that. Though there has been no problem since and been a lot of hard driving since. Fingers crossed for a happy ending.

Report the fault first over the phone…
Call again later that week for a quote on a new splitter as you’ve JUST bust yours.

What’s not to believe?

Er… the rad is nowhere near the splitter unless by some miracle it squeezed through the cheese grater grille and went upwards.

If the mesh grille is intact and the undertray is still there it can’t be related

Happy days. Only a loose hose, so fixed under warranty and no damage to the engine. What a relief, can now just get the splitter fixed. Anyone ever tried to do a DIY job?

Just sent you a pm regarding ubove. Cheers,Jim.
