Something new for a change, NOT.
Anyway, have a mate with a 4.2 TD 03 which is over heating, he tows a 2.3 tonne van and this is when the trouble started.
When towing even a slight rise it starts to over heat but fine when not towing.
So far he has put an assie made copper four core radiator in, new water pump, new themostast, new fan, new coolant, new glow plugs, new injectors, and a tune up.
The gauge goes straight up to H when towing and has an after market temp gauge that shows between 95 to 109.
Ok, I have had a look at it and found,
He has put a bonnet scoop on, no rubber on left side of engine, no rubber between radiator and front frame in front of radiator, added spot lights -7", and added roof rack.
Have done pressure test, OK, no coolant in oil and no bubbles in coolant.
I have tried to give as much info as I can, he also uses the gears properly and keeps revs up so as not to labour motor.
So could someone smarter than me give some advice.
