Have I fixed it? Over heating 300 tdi,

[warrior]

I've been plagued with over heating, never got to the red mark as I've always pulled over of caught it soon enough,

1st time was the little plastic bit the 2-1 was blocked, sorted and that's that,

Few months later it was getting hot again. Faulty thermostat problem solved

Few months later

Cleaned my rad out and problem solved again, this has happened a few times,

I noticed when laning in North Yorkshire with everyone any hill for 30 seconds or more the temp started climbing, heaters on and electric fan it dint go past 3/4 if I did these things befor we got to the hill.

I noticed after we left the camp site I had done half a mile and I was up to tempreture after it had bin stood all night,

I decided to change the water pump and thought I'd change the intercooler as it was missin a few fins.got them from Jonny at Yorkshire landrover Spairs in Bradford,

I removed this, a plastic one? And fit a metal one lets see after I've bin for a drive up a big hill,

No when I clean the rad I take it all out and give it a god clean, this s about once a month as I off road it every 2 weeks prity much,

I've bin fir a drive up otley chevin, from bottom to top with my foot hard down at full boost for about a mile and it never even got to half way on the gauge.

No I wasn't able to get hold of one intime, the one that came off had bin greased or similar and was in good condition, not the one in the picture.
