johnnysensi · Sep 26, 2015

Drove from Kent to West Sussex 70 odd mile no issues.. drove home and halfway home temp went below blue and red light on same display came on(for ages)...then temp gauge went up to red and diesel overheated ...viscous is new err2266 model..all new cooling system working fine ..I thought air lock maybe..strange why it went blue first for at least 5 mins...I had hoses off to fit fan cowling and fan ....

Air lock more than likely lost coolant from around temp sender. Not refilled properly. Check you do not have a coolant leak in heater return pipe that goes behind head that can also cause an air lock in the head.
