VS Calais V6
Hi All,

My VS Calais V6 Series 1 has had consistent issues with not starting after a short drive.

Scenario: I'll drive the car for 3 km then I'll park it and then if I need to start it up again, it cranks over but it refuses to start.

I've had the engine light appear numerous times after a few minutes of driving. In the past I've scanned for error codes and DTC 15 and DTC 16 relating to the coolant temperature resistance has turned up.

The low speed fan seems to turn on as soon as I start driving. Engine light will turn on and then when driving it feels like its revving too high like 1500 rpm even when you brake. Its a really strange idle.

I am still in the process of diagnosing the issue. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
