Okay, so after giving up on the issue and driving my dads car for a while (it has working AC which is pretty much the most important thing in these insane heatwaves) I have recently started driving my c5 again as I was getting ready to sell it and had to make notes of all that was up with it.

Apparently posting an ad on the local used car website scared the poor thing into working as I noticed the coolant temperature wasn't going up anymore when standing still and sure enough the radiator fan now works! (It never worked before except on a lexia fan test.) I then cleared the codes with my cheap blue generic obd2 bluetooth adapter and surprisingly enough the damn check engine light has not returned. It has now been 2 days over 100km and 10+ engine on/off cycles and it has not come back so I assume the issue whatever the hell it was has somehow gone away??

This means that I am obviously not going to sell it because what would be the point if it now works fine again but if anyone else finds this thread looking to solve the same issue then I truly have no idea what caused it or what solved it.




Oh and a completely unrelated thing - did anyone know that the rear seat bottom flips down into the foot area and makes room for the rear seat to fold completely flat? I had no idea and just assumed that the seats only fold down about 2/3 of the way. #-o #-o

Umm, most of us I think.

There are some cars where only the seat back folds down, our Mk2 308 SW for instance so don't feel so bad about it!
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

Yeah, my old honda accord was the same way as are all the other cars we have in the family so I never even thought about it...

My Civic folds the back onto the seat base, the shifts forward as the back is folded down.

I surprised a lad at work when I flipped his Bora seat base up then the backs folded down flat.
After two C5s I expected them all to be like that.
Can't remember how it worked on my Accord, too long ago.
