Today I had an overheating problem . checked water level this morning because it overheated the other day in hot weather towing a caravan. :angry: (It only travelled five km.)

Anyway I got about 10km down the road and the temperture gauge began rising. I pulled over to the side of the road and allowed it to cool. took off again and it rose to red , pulled over again for about 5 minutes and it cooled . Turned car around to come home. I basically bunny hopped it all the way home. Had to pull over five times the car went for about 1 - 3 km's before having to pull over.

checked manual . but nothing in it seems to suggest anything serious . In fact it doesn't say much at all.

-air con wasn't switched on at any time

- all oil and filters are fine...........although oil under the bonnet was at low but i have put more in . Oil in engine (dipstick ) was fine.

-checked water after i got home and no problem.......it was a little brown so I flushed it.

- no spots under car indicating any leaks.

does anyone have an answer?........ I'd prefer not to be stranded in the heat tommorow :unsure:
