Guardian.:
bearmach is usually ok, the stats often seize up get a genuine one, have you taken a hose off and turned it over to check that the pump is good?

Not sure about the 200 but the 300TDi stat is a bit more than an on-off device, it redirects the water as the engine heats up, hence it has a plate on either end (if your 200TDi stat isn't like this then perhaps it is different).

Does it still overheat with no stat in there?

i didnt take a hose off but i can usually see a swelling in the expansion tank when i give it some revs an couldnt when the stat was in there :roll:, i must admit when i took it out i never checked :roll: but the temp guage never budged, il check the stat in 5 mins an jus  [-o< its that   :lol:

treeman:
right then i changed the stat an then flushed the system an  took it for a test drive an its not overheating anymore, :D cheers for all the help muchly appreciated  :clap:

A swelling in the expansion tank when you rev it does not sound good :(

That indicates to me that the cooant is pressurising, from the combustion or exhaust.

You need a leak down tester ;)
