yes when I stopped and removed, with caution, the cap of the expansion tank, there was quite a lot of pressure.

ok, thanks a lot, so I should not see the coolant leak I presume it will evaporate?

Thanks, and how can I be sure it is that? (just trying to understand) I presume the coolant level will decrease?

Dear All, I have some news, bad and good, let me explain what we have done: - changed thermostat - changed waterpump and gasket - changed the Y tubing - changed the temperature sensor - changed the radiator After that the engine temperature was still shutting in the red zone after 5-10m drive...

very interesting but you scare me because I always refilled the tank with water in recent weeks (since the problem arises to test the system) I have personally never used the orange coolant but always the one I find at the petrol station.

indeed, this is what I am ordering at the moment. however, I wanted a bigger radiator as I am towing a lot but I could not find any. same for the hoses, I will change all of them.

Quite hard and soft before the start

Dear All, last weekend I did the checks that you all proposed: - checked the oil : not missing and no strange colour (not diluted nor oil) - changed the water pump (the old one was fine) - changed the thermostat (I still need to test the old one) - changed the expansion tank cap - bypassed the...

Thanks, forgot to mention but it is done. What I really do not understand is why it overflow directly and it looks to me like not circulation rather then exhaust gaz. I have no weird oil and no white smoke.

Hi All, The mystery continue. The car came back and it is not overheating while standing still

Hi All, The mystery continue. The car came back and it is not overheating while standing still. I ran the engine for one hour and nothing. However, water comes back in the expansion tank and overflow. This empty the cooling system. i also noticed the heating is not producing hot air. tonight...

Thanks. Yes I have ordered a new water pump and new gaskets (for the pump). The car will not be driven as it comes back on the back of a towing truck tonight.

Dear All, still waiting for my car to come back to my house to start the investigations but something my friend told we was the following: « the temperature is rising after a few minutes of driving and we can see the water coming out of the breathing pipe« do You have some advice on where to...

To be honest, i am waiting for the car to come back, but for sure i will add the check of the oil condition. Last time is did not contain any water as far as i can see.

Thank you all for your help and support. I decided after calling my Mecanic that spending 2000 pounds on a head gasket without even being sure that this is the problem to do some work myself. On Monday, a friend of mine will come over and we will start trouble shouting: 1) check the water pump...

Thé problem is that i my overheating problem i lost something like 7 litres of coolant and now i need to fill it back up every time i drive and i rise in temperature immediately. So i do not know where to start investigating. The issue is that i cannot see any water leaking.

Great. Thanks a lot. Can we test the water pump in a certain way?

Hi All, I hope you had a good Landy weekend:-) i have a common problem with my 300TDI, suddenly it started to overheat. I was drivint on the motorway doing 50 and i saw water coming out of the engine bay, most probably from the breathing pipe of the tank? since then the engine overheat and i...

Dear All, Just curious, where do you buy your parts online in Belgium from? I know and dream when i see the UK website, but since the brexit the transport and total shipping costs are huge for some parts. Thanks, Gary

Thanks! Do you normally leave it closer or not ?
