Problem with overheating and low coolant level in a 2003 Opel Agila

Hi, I had a similar problem with my Opel Corsa, built in 2001, which is only two years different to yours. I'm not a car professional, but I've done a few jobs on my car myself, so I'd say I have some experience. When I had the same problem with the warning light and the low coolant level, I went to my regular garage. They found out that there was a sporadic faulty communication error between the control units. The repair cost me a hefty 955.0 euros, but I haven't had the problem since. To be able to help you more precisely, I would need more information about your car. Have you ever changed the coolant? What is the condition of your thermostat? You can also have the fault memory read out, that could also help. See you soon!

Hi, thanks for your advice! It's good to know that I'm not the only one with such problems. I have always maintained my Agila, built in 2003, with a mileage of 120143 km, and have also topped up the coolant regularly. The thermostat could be a possibility. I haven't changed it yet, but I'll take your tips into account and have the fault memory read out. It's a real shame that things like this are always so expensive. Thank you and see you later!

Hey, I'm always happy when I can help! Good to hear that you've always maintained your car well. It's also important that you top up the coolant regularly. You could be right about the thermostat. If I were you, I'd check it and replace it if necessary. You never know. As for the costs, yes... I know that all too well. Car repairs can be quite expensive. But it's better to invest now and not have any major problems later than the other way around, isn't it? After all, you've already driven so many kilometers with your Opel Agila that the investment was worth it in my eyes. So, have the fault memory read out and have a look at the thermostat. Keep your fingers crossed that you solve the problem soon! Let me know if you have any news! See you then!

In any case, I'll let you know as soon as I know more. Thanks again for your help and until then!
