Hi Team,
Just recently my commodore has started to play up with the temperature.
When driving around town the temperature randomly spikes,dashboard beeps at me and then it goes down quickly after turning the heater on for a minute.
The radiator is full of coolant and the fans do come on. The coolant has stayed at the same level... so there isn't a leak. I lift the bonnet the engine feels regular temperature, no steam or anything.
Could it be the radiator cap? I had a look and looks ok..... but not too sure how to know if it's in bad condition.
Could it be a Computer Fault with the BCM? If so is this difficult and expensive to fix?
Could it be air in the system?
ALSO... do you think there will be any risk to the engine if I continue to drive with it happening?
Thanks in advance and hope to hear from one of you commodore experts soon!!
Cheers
Ash
