recently bought an astra. soon discovered it has an overheating problem esp. when stopped in traffic or at lights. when i parked up i checked the expansion bottle expecting anti freeze to be bubbling, to my surprise there was no bubbling, in fact after removing the cap i discovered the water to be just about luke warm, radiator warm but not hot. any ideas on what problem could be. any help appreciated. cheers mike

recommend changing thermostat and also check cooling fan works when it gets hot could be a faulty fan switch
