Hey, thanks for the quick reply. My Adam already has 182651 km on it. The last service was only recently. I haven't read out the OBD error code yet, but that's a good point. I'll see if I can do it or if I have to go to the garage. Is changing the cables something that a layman can do, or is it more of a workshop job? Thank you!

No problem, always happy to help. With the mileage, it can happen that defects become noticeable. Reading out the OBD error code is definitely a good idea. This will give you an indication of exactly what the problem could be. Swapping cables is one of those things. If you are a bit handy and have the necessary tools, you might be able to do it yourself. However, the safety of your vehicle is also at stake here. I would therefore recommend that you leave it to a specialist garage. You'll be on the safe side and, if in doubt, they'll also have the necessary spare parts available. The costs should remain within reasonable limits, as they were for me at the time. If it is the auxiliary water pump or its cable, then I would advise you to have it repaired as soon as possible. Overheating is not to be trifled with, it can lead to considerable engine damage. Good luck and let me know if you have any more information or further questions!

Hello, thank you very much for the helpful advice. Your information gives me a good overview and I think it would actually be better if I left it to a specialist garage. I definitely want to avoid causing more damage to my car's engine. I will definitely look into it and check the OBD error code or have it checked. As soon as I have more information, I'll get back to you. And yes, that's a good point about safety, you shouldn't do without it either. Thank you very much!

It sounds like your car is also experiencing overheating issues. First, check the coolant level when the engine is cold. If it's low, there might be a leak somewhere. Also, check the radiator fan to see if it's working properly. If these checks don't reveal anything, it could be a more serious issue like a faulty thermostat or water pump. Given the potential severity of overheating issues, I would recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection. Please keep us updated on your progress and let us know if you have any further questions.

I have a 2015 Opel adam, I have problems with overheating. I noticed that the fan is not running. The car has 60000 km-.
I have never put Water but only coolant. What do you recommend?
If the fan isn't running, it could be due to a faulty fan motor, a bad relay, a broken fan belt, or a malfunctioning temperature sensor. You can start by checking the fuses and relays associated with the fan. If those are fine, you might need to test the fan motor itself. However, given the potential for overheating to cause serious engine damage, I would recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection. Please keep us updated on your progress and let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi, I once had a similar problem with my 2016 Opel Corsa. I have a bit of experience with cars, but I'm certainly no expert. In my Corsa, the cause was exactly as you suspected: cable on the pump/control unit defective. I then took my car to the garage and they replaced the cable for 225 euros. Since then there have been no more problems. But to be able to help you more precisely, I would perhaps need a little more information about your vehicle. Which model is it exactly? Has it already clocked up a lot of kilometers? Have you perhaps read out the OBD error code? Hope that helps you.
