another vauxhall help please

At least the coolant system has had a good clean

Confused at washer/coolant etc.

That definately looks like screenwash in the coolant system though.

Put some deicer in it.

Probably a crack in the cylinder head, a mates Volvo FH16 kept doing that after £3500 in parts turned out that's what it was.

Sorry ment coolant bottle  :embarassed:

car hasnt had any work done to it since i bought it apart from changing thermostat lastnight i have done around 5000 miles init trouble free so far

im the only that goes under the bonnet i deffo havent put any screen wash in either lol

Its been fine then started getting a funny smell in car so thought i would have a check under bonnet and when i did there was the foamy stuff comin out of the overflow on coolant bottle

[Bellend]

Been told by a collegemate that mixing antifreeze can do this. If there's deffo no screenwash it could be seriously overheating I guess.

Get a sniff test done.

Also is the waterpump functioning ?

[leeroy20vt]

Cheers for help so far

deffo no screenwash lol

antifreeze goin off was only other thing i could think of

will deffo have to get sniff/pressure test on it

and water pump seems to be working fine constant flow of water in coolant tank

My advice is to not waste any more time thinking about it and just drain the entire system and fill it back up with fresh water and antifreeze, it's easy enough.  If it's still a problem I would suspect you have a slight crack in the head gasget which is pressurising the system with exhaust gasses.

Or just scrap it. It's a vauxhall after all

It's a Vauxhall, nothing is easy   Seriously, you've got to get the alternator out of a Zafira from underneath which costs a lot in labor
