running hot - help

(1/11) > >>

TDi90:
hi guys,
right rolly, my 200tdi 90 is running hot. last weekend i took the intercooler and the rad out, and flushed through (not the inside just the outside) from both directions... was a load of [PooPoo] in it as i suspected, once i had put it all together again, i of course topped up the fluid with BRAND NEW ANTIFREEZE and distilled water. 50/50 mix. after this, i ran her and was shocked to see the temp rise to exactly the same level. so this today, i went and got a brand new thermostat, and the bolt thing (where the crimped wire fits onto, you know the one?) and replaced the old ones. shocked to see it at the same level...

help please!!

I had this prob. with my last Landrover.

Does the Landy overheat or is it just the Temp Gauge
showing its overheating.

Or have you not dared to try to see if it will over heat
I never did get to the bottom of it

I am wondering if its a elec problem as my only showed it
was over heating but never drove more that 10 miles or so
never realy pushed it

TDi90:
well, i darent try and get her to overheat, but the guage is reading hot, the engine seems to be fine... and i know the thermostat is kicking in because i tried it today and it did its job.
its just puzzling...

Guy90:
Have you got the right temperature sender thingy (the one that screws into the engine top). There are diffrent ones as there are diffrent thermostats.

TDi90:
yeh, because she used to run right on the halfway... and would not budge...
