Oh dear, sorry to bring this subject up but my new to me ('99, 125k)td5 has just overheated on me. The head gasket was done just a few miles ago before i bought it(for peanuts). the turbo was duff so a new one of those sorted it oue. cleaned out the intercooler and a little of the inlet manifold and oil smoke is subsiding now. Drove her around town for an hour the other day and all fine, just took her up the dual carriage way adn she got to 3/4 on temp guage so pulled in and noticed the top little pipe coming off the rad has been glued inplace and this had failed and steam was coming out of there. stopped engine and of course she dumped the coolant out.
Could this little leak be causing the overheating as system is not pressurized or could the head job be duff?
I found out the job was down by local Landy dealer and am waiting fot them to call me back so i can ask about dowels etc.
Had a good search through forum and found lots of possible answers but thought i would have my own thread.
