    Hi! ive got a problem which looks like a coolant problem. It’s a temperamental problem sometimes my heating works sometimes it doesn’t work. sometimes when on the motorway the temperature gauge goes up 3/4 the way up then my van will go into limpmode, then for about half a mile the gauge will go back down then the heating will work and i can get the power back and i can get going again. The coolant level will sometimes be above max and sometimes just above minimum. ive had my mechanic look at it and he said it isn’t showing all the signs of a head gasket leak but still could be, last week he got a load of air out of the system and my van did work perfectly for about a week but this morning it went into limpmode again. ive seen a few of the same problems with this 1.6 engine on this forum, anyone find what the problem is? cheers ash

      Head gasket. You don't need a new engine but it is expensive. On mine, the cylinder head had cracked, which pushed the price up. There is a test for the problem, the mechanic looks for combustion materials in the coolant.

    Hi Killian have you sorted this problem? My connect 1.6 has exactly the same symptoms as you described.
