Did you transfer the 2,5 sender unit to the 200tdi

New thermostat and bleed the system.

weeee man · Nov 5, 2010

Agree, cheap and easy to do inorl.

Check top and bottom hoses when 'up' to temp, if they're cool or cold and both similar temps to each other then I'd say thermostat failed open or non-existant.

As long as the block and thermostat housing is hot then the rest may be cold.

It isnt uncommon for the top hose to be just warm and the bottom hose cold.

These engines dont heat up quick so you need a good thermostat.

Must say though that mine improved greatly when I put a new radiator on, cant think why that helped it to warm up.

ok so how easy is it to change a thermostat?

landowner · Nov 5, 2010

Mine takes about a mile to start getting warm and it's up to temp in about 4 miles, heater gets hotter if you rev it a bit to circulate the water.
