I was driving a couple days ago I get on the highway and engine overheating light came on and I lost power so I just pulled over and got towed home. Once home I restarted the car and fan came on right away.

Any thoughts of what this could be I heard thermostat or water pump but don't know how to diagnose it before I waste money on a thermostat or water pump

If you went into limp mode. You have codes. Read them and see what they say.

How many km on your car?(around 80000-100000?) most likely is water pump.

I got no check engine light but code I read on dash was cc I'd 39. Car has 170 000km. The code says engine overheating nothing about thermostat or waterpump

[bwco]

Sounds like water pump !

[RideForeign]

So basically I'd get a light for the thermostat?

Didn't do it yet cars in winter storage right now because I was thinking of getting other things I wanted to do to the car and take a weekend in the spring to do everything all at once and have a "new" car on the road

I got this problem last month, it was the water pump.

I have been dpinf doing alot of reading on the site , and some people say it could be a weak battery ...cuase the the battery is weak it cant give the water pump full power ... long shot but check it out

Engine overheating light is one of those things you should get look up by a professional right away

Last thing you want is having to replace your engine because it overheated.

Check your coolant level , if its really low then you either have a leak somewhere or a bad waterpump
