ok... been having a problem with overheating...
one serious boil where coolant was was spraying out of side of bonnet before i could get to emergency refuge area on motorway..
so new....
water pump,
another radiator that didnt have a leak,
serpentine belt,
belt tensioner,
viscous fan,
new stat, then stat removed and running without one now..
still doin it.. if i run with heaters on it dont overheat,, only ever gets warm under load up hill etc..
so...
head off, pressure tested and skimmed..
refitted, new head bolts etc,
new timing belt too, pully and tensioner..
still overheating under load if i dont have the cabin heaters on full..
got warm on way to work this morning, water had leaked past plug in top of radiator.. topped up,,
set off home... got warm again.. got home, no water in stat housing, expansion tank full to the top.. had to empty the expansion tank then refil the stat housing..
what is goin on.... i'm out of ideas, i've done everything...
