new radiator, new thermostat, new expansion tank lid,



expansion tank cap has 2 rubber seals, one on lid and one on bottom stopper,,,,, do i keep both of these on or just bottom seal?.,.,..



flushed system 4 or 5 times water still rusty colour.


heater works great as long as i stay under 40 mph if i slow or speed up it goes cold:( whats happnin man, heater gives hotter heat at low speed than higher speed.


need some urgent help, its cold up ere.....:eek:
 
well ive tried everything matey,
brand new thermostat from paddocks.

just noticed the stat is about 2" long, so whipped it out and put a slightly lower temp one at 82 in and its only an inch long.

apart from that i changed the matrix today and offered in a saab one and with a bit of addapting it seems ok. worked on it too much the last 2 weeks, cant be bothered going out to try it tonits il give it a go tomorrow
 
Why would you fit a lower temp one that is what temp it opens up at...this means it will get to that temp and open stat letting the water cool faster. You need a hotter one mate. There is always the possiblity that ya temp guage is faulty.... My heater in my 90 with the 200tdi fitted is ***t to say the least.....it was alot better with the old 2.5 n/a engine in....
But then landy heaters are ***p anyways...
 
another thing i noticed about 200 tdi is the water pumps round the engine different than a 300 tdi.

mine pumps water out the blok into matrix and out along metal pipe above engine , mmm yours the same, and this may sound strange but hows about sending me a picture of your heater box showing hose arrange ment.

paddocks used to be good, new owners now i think, sent me wrong stat.
