If it's still in LOS; then the cooling fan will run continuously - does it? What were the "cooling problems?"
|
no, the fan comes on just on the red, the problem was in traffic it would go off scale, had to put heater on full to cool it, but now it seems to burn a lot more petrol, i am thinking it needs resetting (codes) to put it back normal?

If it was in LOS; you wouldn't get it over 55mph and it would be seriously slow - literally limping. Codes don't cause limp - limp sets codes.
So what was the cause of the overheating; what have you done to fix it; are there any non-standard fitments and what evidence is there of over-fuelling?

Mickey please don't use text talk here, as Dave said it isn't MSN or an SMS conversation. It winds people up here and its a real pain to edit. (in otr wrds it esr to delete !)

Haynes manuals are good but not always exact and authorative.
Trust me, screwloose does know what he is saying. And he can speak text talk but usually uses normal english.

Last time. It will not stay in LOS if there is no fault present. Your overheating doesn't sound like a stat; but it wouldn't set codes anyway.
As you have no codes to reset; they will not be the cause of your, possible, over-fuelling; look elsewhere - even to the sharp rise in petrol costs.
Do an accurate brim-to-brim mileage check.
