Why is my Vauxhall Combo Life overheating when I idle?

I have noticed that my Vauxhall Combo Life has been overheating whenever I idle for too long. This issue is causing concern as it never used to happen before. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi David, there are a few possible reasons why your Vauxhall Combo Life is overheating when idling. One possibility is that your radiator is clogged which could be preventing proper cooling. Another possibility is that there could be an issue with your water pump. It is recommended to have a mechanic check these components to properly diagnose and fix the issue.

Hi David, another common cause of overheating at idle is a faulty thermostat. The thermostat helps regulate the temperature of your engine and if it is not functioning properly, it can cause overheating. Have a mechanic inspect and replace the thermostat if necessary.

Hi David, have you checked your coolant levels? Low coolant levels can also cause overheating at idle. Make sure your coolant levels are topped up and there are no leaks in the system. You may also want to consider flushing and replacing the coolant if it looks dirty.
