Any SERIOUS answers about the following please.
1. Water reservoire for radiator - bottle accumulates air frequently which seems to stop the heater working until the pressure is released by loosening the cap off and air bubbles up through the water.
2. Petrol guage - filled up petrol tank, know it was full by the amount it cost. The petrol guage showed only 3/4 full after driving for 2 miles the guage dropped to half way. It climbed to just about above half way and has stayed there since.
No petrol smells so no leaks......same with the radiator...there is no leak of water just accumulation of air bubbles.
PLEASE ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS THIS IS IMPORTANT!!
The car is 5 years old we have had from new. The Daewoo company was taken over by Chrysler in the UK. All but a few of the repair centres are still operating in the UK. This means we cannot just take it back and get it sorted......

Advice offered in good faith and no guarantees!
1) Has any work been done on the cooling system recently? - If you have an air lock ( in the heater circuit) then unless you've had work done or theres a leak then you could have head gasket failure ( or cylinder liners if fitted). Check your engine oil, if its white and like cream then you may have coolant loss in to the engine from a headgasket failure or liners etc.
You need the coolant system pressure checked to see if there is a leak.
Heater not working may be caused by (if fitted) the heater valve not working for some reason.
Please not that expansion tanks are not meant to be filled to the top!
2) Sound like a faulty sender / gauge or connection.
If you ever suspect a leak do not drive!
I think you had best get someone you can trust look at it (easier said than done). I could go on for ever about possible faults but I dont think I'm eloquent enough!
Good luck

The water system could have an airlock in it but if not the heater matrix could be gunged up. This happens in some cars at times. Could also have a more serious underlying problem if it were gunged up. Hopefully it is an airlock.
The fuel sender unit is most likely to be faulty but there could be a couple of faults.
And you can take the car back to Chrysler to be repaired as it is exactly the same cars just badged different.
I worked in a coachworks and ordered parts and was asked contantly if it was Daewoo or Chrysler badge that was on the car.

Excess air in the coolant reservoir would be an early sign of head gasket problems as would the heater not getting warm.
Guage problem is likely just that, a gfaulty guage. As long as you keep it topped up with fuel then dont worry there.
I would be inclined to get shot as I'd say the head gaskets about to go and not worth doing on an old daewoo.

Take it back to where you got it from. Or get a qualified expert to look at it.Just find out whats wrong from somebody who really knows his stuff.(CAR MECHANIC). What you have asked for without looking and checking could be any number of faults. And finally like the old advert said. Want a s..t car, that will be the daewoo.
