imaparana Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi, does it only pressurise when its hot? have you tried running it with the cap off from cold, if there are bubbles coming out constantly this would suggest a headgasket issue. Does the temperature gauge show it over heating? Does the fan come on? Im no fox expert but would just be a few things to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Same 1.4 engine as a polo 9n. Not the head gasket. That's my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Chaplin Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I found the overheating problem thermostat was in bits I ordered another one and the housing strange thing the car shop said it was discontinued but they are getting me one from Gates. The housing was strange the thermostat pin extrudes through the back of the housing it is defo correct as the hole is fluted any of u guys seen this before.
