110 cooling

Skip-ian · Sep 27, 2018

Hi everyone,

Quick question before I start pulling truck apart. I have a 110 hicap with a 200tdi in it. Around town it’s fine but on the motorway it gets hold. Cruising at 60 the gauge goes up to the top of the white. When I pull off and use normal roads it slowly goes back down. I have flushed the system but water still turns rusty. Can’t decide what to try first maybe thermostat?

Thanks for tips

Ian

If the radiator is original there's a chance it's blocked internally. A TDi should be able to cope easily with 60Mph without overheating. It might be worth taking the rad out and reverse flushing it - look for chunks of the internal baffles coming out!
