What is causing the engine to overheat in my Vauxhall Zafira Life?

I have noticed that the engine temperature gauge in my Vauxhall Zafira Life is constantly rising, even when driving short distances. What could be causing this issue and what steps can I take to resolve it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the cooling system in your car. You should check the coolant levels and see if there are any leaks or clogs in the system. If that doesn't solve the issue, it could be a faulty thermostat or water pump.

Another possibility could be a malfunctioning radiator or a damaged fan belt. I would suggest taking your car to a mechanic to have it checked and repaired if necessary.

In some cases, the issue could also be related to a faulty radiator cap. It is important to regularly check all components of the cooling system to prevent any potential overheating issues.
