110 overheating

Simonrh · Dec 6, 2015

Hi folks, brand new to the forum!

I have a 110 with the 200tdi engine which is loosing power after about 30 minutes of driving. Yesterday got a lot worse whilst towing, it barley moved at one point and smelt of burning clutch so I pulled in and let it cool off. The temp is reading in the red quite quickly. I have replaced the thermostat and water pump, however when I Rev it there doesn't seem to be any circulation of the water? The radiator looks in good condition but I haven't flushed it, the heater works fine. Not sure what it could be any suggestions?

Cheers
Simon

Have you thoroughly bled the cooling system as described in the manual!
Might be worth forum search on that one!

Rad blocked or kinked hose

Is the radiator hot all over ?

Simonrh · Dec 6, 2015

Radiator is hot in the top left hand corner, stone cold everywhere else.

Does that answer anything ? Might need back flushing ?

presumably hot were top hose enters,if so a new rad would be best

Top hose is hot, I might take it off and take it for flush and check over.

Take the top hose and bottom hose off ... then stick a hose pipe in the bottom hose point of the rad and flush through ...
It's better if you take he rad out but not always easy ...

Also check your water pump make sure it's actually circulating water
