99, temp sensor at the radiator side of the motor is renewed. I dont know the place of the other one(s) and they are not replaced.

BTW it is under zero celcius out here, so even tho going uphill, the requirement of cooling fans seems absurd to me. If the fans kick in late, what would be your suggestion to fix it? Replacing ECU is the only way? Yep, he emptied the center of it and put it just as a placeholder to prevent...

Gauge was increased to 3/4 for a while going uphill, then it was decreased to a very little higher than 2/4 when I let go the throttle while going downhill. I pulled over and checked, although gauge seems fine, expansion tank was nearly full (we just put half of it before the drive and bleed the...

So... mystery continues: I got new version thermostat hoses installed, and changed the expansion tank. Still overheats, however it cools down easily back to middle point. THen I unplugged the temp. sensor and with the cooling fans on there was no overheating.

I got this one here: http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/PCD500030

I will definitely buy a new tank along with a thermostat replacement hose. I have already bought a new cap before. I will post updates. Thanks and cheers!

Those are photos of it and it seems severe now that I look again. What do you guys think ?

Thanks for the reply htr! I am sorry I forgot about mentioning that we did bleeding like you described after every try. I bought a new radiator cap but couldn't find a expansion tank in stock. I do have some cracks at the top of the expansion tank but it seems like minor cracks. Could that be...

Thanks for the suggestion Tony, I will try this ASAP. My mechanics also mentioned that replacing it closer to the radiator would solve it as it might not getting pressurized enough at the current place. Eventually, we preferred the easier solution: drilling the thermostat. Do you have any idea...

I have tried a bluetooth ELM dongle on my 99 FL1 1.8 Petrol, it powers on like it should but couldn't find the protocol, then I checked some documents to find out until 2001 we have a different software with different protocol. then I tried a VAG-COM cable with CH340 chip, it connects with a pc...

Hello thanks for your reply, I have the one at the near back of the engine, I think it is the old one?

Hello again people! I would like to consult you with something odd happened last week with my old 99 FL1 1.8 Petrol. Firstly, if I say something wrong, stupid or ignorant please point it out so I can learn better. -----Long Version----- I bought my precious FL1 at 2013 and last month it...

Thank you soo much I downloaded it yesterday, I hope it wont cause problem for your bandwidth. The problematic one is still white-pink one, it is coming from ECU to main relay, other end of the relay is coming from positive out of battery getting through engine compartment fusebox Fuse#3. The...

Thanks for the warning you are right, I have checked the color of the wire and it was really white-pink and it says K1.8 on the manual so I assumed it would be valid :) But now I remember that I came across somewhere that they changed ECU software to OBDII at year 2000. So it might be changed.

Hello again and thanks a lot for your help. I have been figuring out the problem. I have checked the engine compartment fuses wires and then engine compartment relay modules for anything strange and then I figured out that Main Relay power does not cut off when I stop the engine, instead relay...
