Hi hope some one can help, took the car for its mot went back to pick it up, apparently it overheated and dumped water from the radiator, it then shows the message coolant visit workshop, changed the sensor under the expansion bottle however message wont clear, called the AA they couldn't clear, it seems the radiator fan is not working and in turn the AC is also not working any ideals would be appreciated.

Smart + others :)
A rad fan fault will bring up a coolant fault. Suspect rad fan but do the usual checks, fuses, connections etc. Actuations via star too.

My air has stopped working too, not checked to see if the rad fan is working, the air con is still working in the centre console and glove box.
The air con switch flashes light red light if you try to switch it on. Scanner says ' faulty air con switch'. The main switch you use to switch on the air con has been checked and is working.
Where is the next switch to check located? o_O

If I was at home I'd have a look for you, but I'm sure someone will be able to help.;)
