Folks,
I have an ongoing saga with my cooling (or not) system in a D90 300Tdi. My thermometer starting reading high and nearly going into the red after a few miles. To cut a long story short I have now: replaced the thermostat, the sender unit, the top and bottom pipes and the water pump. I took the radiator out and thoroughly examined it (it looks in good nick) and I flushed and back flushed it. I refitted it, refilled and then drained and refilled again very carefully in case I had an air pocket. Now it doesn't get more that 0.5 mile before going into the red! I have tested the thermostat in a tin and it opens at the right temp.
I'm now very frustrated so any advice on what to do next would be welcome.
