Why doesn't my Astra G get warm enough?
Hello dear community,
I have a problem with my 2002 Astra G Estate, 1.6L (engine: Z16SE). It only reaches 74°C or 77°C while driving (heating on/off). I've already replaced the thermostat. I also replaced the coolant temperature sensor. Both are OEM quality! I'm at a loss now and hope one of you can help me. Thanks in advance!
Kind regards, Johannes

For what temperature is the thermostat designed (how much degree should it open according to information)? This is indicated on the packaging and when buying on the website.
You mean he might have caught a "hotland performance"?
I think that's possible.
92° opening temperature
Either that (ie a component that opens earlier—in winter, if necessary too early), or just a defective sensor.
Thermostat has already been replaced by quality goods – good, I would have done so. And yet the temperature doesn't fit? That's weird, and it's a faulty sensor as a single check. To clear up the heating properly. Is it as warm as usual? If so, you have good chances that the sensor shows nonsense.
Speaking of nonsense: Unfortunately, this is also the answer here, for example the thing with the year of construction. The car can be as old as possible – everything is intact, then the temperature also fits. I guess that's just logic, but apparently I was wrong.
Thanks I have already changed the temperature sensor (Bosch). Without remedy
Just stay the thermostat. Apply to hot water and observe when it opens.
''Both First Equipment Quality!'' It doesn't mean anything anymore.
Which manufacturers have Do you have the parts installed or installed?
Milling thermostat and Bosch sensor
Should go. It was just an idea. How did you measure the temperatures? The display instruments are often only treasure irons.
Read them by OBD
Heating coolers rinse and descale. We've had the phenomenon too. Everything was also exchanged without remedy. Rinsing and descaling would have been enough.
Try it
May I ask where you let that happen?
In a free workshop, it costs €70.
The phenomenon too cold and then it helps to sprinkle the cooler? I doubt that. Lime is a heat insulator if the cooler does not work the water becomes warmer. The questioner's problem, however, is that it is too cold.
I can't imagine how to solve the problem
I don't know, but after the workshop did that, everything was good again. Previously, the thermostat was exchanged and various other things tested without success. As I said, I don't do anything myself on cars, everything has to work, and if the workshop tells me that, I have to believe that. And that was also done at low cost – from my point of view at least. In any case, it's hot again, that's what counts.
Still thanks
No, unfortunately not.
I mean, you don't happen to know what means they used?
presumably thermostat defective or fu incorrect temperature
is already new
you asked, and that's the answer – okay? already what was said that parts might be faulty or inadequately installed?
Thank you. But if it's not, you don't mind, do you? I didn't want to look rude
Did you really measure the temperature or read only in the instrument cluster? The latter would be bad.
Read out about OBD
Water thermostat is no longer correct.
Probably
But this has already been done
A significant part of the problem.
What do you mean?
I mean, aging and wear on such a vehicle don't pass without trace. That's a pensioner, there's always something else every day.
?
!!!
something different every day.
I told you.
you don't seem to be quite in the thing… but not every day the same…
In the same place. With such a pensioner, something can always be broken, something else every day.
The thermostat is new, not year 2002. If the cooling system is OK, the car can also be 50 years old, which makes no difference.
ahja… so… and where is a problem when it was in 1990?
Just drive until the car is magical.
No I want to take care of it
