It didnt cure your problem but how do you know it made no difference on the temperature as long as you dont have a gauge to monitior it? ... that cowl is compuslory for the cooling system anyway even if it didnt fix your issue and it reduces the engine temp i'm sure, a proper cooling fan will not fix the problem but that doesnt mean you dont need these things... untill you dont read live data to see inputs you'll not know

Another thing, try to stop the viscous fan with a rolled up newspaper with engine running when the radiator is hot... if you can that's a problem

Yesterday I fitted a 2nd hand turbo and actuator and it seems to have sorted my boost issue...

Hi Cotney05

Sorry to revive this old thread but I have the exact same issue. When my td5 reaches half way on the Guage the it looses power and eventually switches off.
