| General comments: | We bought the aforementioned car a week ago, a white 4 door Corolla -Spacio 79.000 km looked immaculate condition outside/inside but we found just driving a short distance that the car bonnet was so hot we could not touch it!!!! We opened the bonnet and the engine was so hot we could not touch it at all. The temp gauge on dashboard showed half-way and has not gone beyond that, but we feel having discussed with other owners their car bonnets are quite cool!-that there is something very wrong with this car's cooling system? we paid cash $8990. |
| What things have gone wrong with the car: | The car bonnet and the engine when driven only short distance is highly overheated! in factyou cannot keep your hand on the bonnet for more than a few moments it is so hot. On opening the bonnet the engine -plastic covering is so hot you can not touch it at all!!! Kindly tell us does this car have a problem in this area and what do you think is causing it, oil is is okay\water coolant is full...but it seems as if the water is not circulating engine ! ? please tell us if we have been cheated by deasler!!!! Who informed it was fully checked out |
