200tdi heat problem

<< < (2/5) > >>

Xtremeteam:
when i put mine on the road i was conviced it was over heating cos o the mixup between disco sender & def guage so i whapped the stat out & then found it took all the way to work (25 miles) for it to actually heat up,fitted it back in & fair enough it reads high but has never over heated even when doing heavy recovery yesterday,

timberdog:
If the Termostat is stamped at 89 Oc what temp is safe to go up to?

I have now fitted back in and it runs between 80 and 97 on steep climb or high speed!!

I have also dropped in 50/50 Coolant mix

I wondered if i fit a thermostat that opens at say 80Oc it would help?

but Thermostat housing is really hot still and top hose is hot an lower coller and rad seems cool?

timberdog:
any more views on this one?

Xtremeteam:
