Is this something anyone can do? Is ot complicated? My air con has a musky smell and also causes me to cough! I don't really want to pay £60-£70 if I can avoid it though. Where abouts would it be as I've looked behind the glove box? Thanks.
During journeys and more noticeable whilst in traffic, the red temperature light turns on and I notice white steam or smoke coming from the bonnet. This has happened on numerous occasions. I paid for and had a diagnostic with Halfords and they couldn't find anything wrong! Now what do I do? Is the car safe to drive? I don't want to blow the head gasket or even worse the engine! Should I get it looked at again but I don't want to waste another £70-£80! Confused
Hi, I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta and mainly whilst I'm driving in traffic, the engine temperature warning light (red) briefly comes on and this has now happened on a few occasions over the past 2 weeks. I have also noticed a small amount of white smoke/steam briefly coming from under the bonnet on 2 occassions at the same time.
The air conditioning also stops cooling and began blowing warm/hot air during this time.
The coolant level is currently full, but I am concerned there may be an issue with the cooling system (possibly radiator fan, thermostat, or pressure-related issue).
I have managed to book a diagnostic for next Wednesday which was the earliest I could get. Do I need to stop driving completely or can I carry on driving? Is this too risky? I asked about if they could look at the air con problem as well and was told that this was a seperate issue. Is this correct? So if they diagnose and fix the cooling issue the air con will still blow warm/hot air? Thanks.

Right in the middle of Prime week as well 😂. I'd imagine there will be a struggle for drivers in this weather. My 4 hour block today was hot enough and that's with air con. Although it started coming out warm after a while!
