I'm having overheat indications. I got a sudden change from the normal temp gauge position (9 o'clock) to the 12 o'clock position (complete with red light) whilst stuck in traffic for about 5 minutes. The temp gauge returned to the normal 9 o'clock position as soon as I moved in an attempt to get off the carriageway and shutdown. The message centre did NOT display the 'engine overheat' message. I felt that the cooling fan wasn't working and the A/C auto test seems to confirm this. The water level in the head tank was low. I tried swapping over the HRW and cooling fan relays to no avail however, interestingly, I rather rashly removed the F4 fuse with the engine running and replaced it with a new 15a fuse and this did cause the fan to run for about 5 or 10 seconds.
Worryingly, I can see orange anti-freeze tainted water in the V. Mine is a 2000 R75 Connoisseur 2.5 Auto
Edited to add that the thermostat and engine temperature sensor (? not sure if that is the exact terminology) were replaced a couple of months ago
Thanks in anticipation of your advice.
