dave

what are you towing and what with?

chuggaman is right though, a 200tdi is a cold running engine so it should tow fine.

i see yours is one too, what condition is the radiator in?

i had to put a new one in mine last year as the fins had rusted and driving back from langley farm in '03 the car did NOT like the m62 over the top...

Dave:
Sorry also the revs went a bit erratic dropped down and then reved up there was a light that came on as well but i carnt remember which one. as i am asking for a friend and forgot which he said. :roll:  I will ask tomorrow.

ps not mine.
 Its a 200 tdi and he was towing a car transporter with about 1.5 tons on it. Not sure about the rad but knowing him it will be in good nic.

Wanderer:
With mine it's usually a combination of

warm air anyway
Mud in the radiator
Shock off lights in front of the grill and
Winch solenoid box in front of the grill.
