OverHeating AGAIN
LiftedDisco:
Keith... have lost your phone number...
Lurch's comment about mud twixt the aircon rad and main rad is most appropriate - had a few issues with overheating following Billing last year and thought that I had hosed everything out until I went to clean the intercooler.
At that point I ended up with more mud on the drive than had come of the chassis and wheelarches combined... it was everywhere...
How could I get that much mud out of such a small and confined space?
Niki wasn't quite so polite in her summing up of the state of our drive - it involved a comparison with the Somme and some 'fairly robust English...'
Hope this helps
Rob

hi guys been folloing this for a few days now, i also have heating issues,
i have a 93 200tdi
the engine was rebuilt by the last owner who seems to have done a good job. if i use it around town then its fine but on a long run say 30 + miles the guage is nearly in the red and fri the temp warning light was on so i put the heater on and reduced my speed to under 50 to bring it back down,
im running lift and 265/75/16 tyres and thought it might be the big wheels causing it to get hot, the standard viscus fan has been removed and a keenlow draw fan installed.
after reading this the other day i fitted a new thermostate saturday and used the disco last night and it was no better.
the rad looks in good nick and i have flushed the rad and added freash coolant,
im thinking of buying a new rad now to see if that makes a difference.

The radiator can look good on the outside but be full of sludge on the inside,
Mine was so full of sludge that it took two people to lift out :shock:

Also, I have noticed that my Discovery black smokes more since the head was replaced. Could this be be related or am I just getting paranoid!!
Any additional info would be greatly received.
Many thanks,
Sogster.

Did your mate clean anything whilst it was apart or re-route any breathers?
or fit a EGR blank kit?
Do you know which head gakste he fitted? it's possible the compression ratio has been lowered resulting in a lower combustion temperature
Or you just notice it more :?
