strange problem

(1/4) > >>

treeman:
i was out in my beloved disco (200tdi) yesterday an for a brief moment the little red tempreture light started flashing at me although the temp gauge was readin half ??? so i stopped an checked under the bonnet an there was water sprayed on the air filter casing an a hell of alot of pressure in the water system, not findin the problem i carried on an now the heaters are only gettin warm wen they want to, instant thoughts were head gasket gone or a blockage in the water system, any1 got any ideas because its really the wrong time of year to have no heaters  :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
The red light is coolant res. level.

Could just be a hose that's gone and now you have an airlock.  YOu need to chase the airlock out and see if it's running ok or bubbling out through the res.

If it's bubbling then the head gasket has gone.

treeman:
iv been using it all day now an im only getting warm air on tickover, i know the top hose connecting to the rad  has been letting some water out under pressure, it hasnt been bubbling as such but i turned it off, opened the res tank an squeezed the bottom hose then it drank all the water in the tank :shock: so i filled er up again an carried on :lol:  albeit freezin cold, il check the hoses in a bit  :roll: an hope for the best

treeman:
right then iv been tryin to figure this out all nite, theres no bubbling in the expansion tank an iv tried looking for an airlock but where would i bleed the system from??  :oops:

fudge:
I had a similar problem with a TD5..... Was the head gasket!
