Hi Guys,
A few months ago now, the radiator in my 2.5 dse cracked and was replaced. Soon afterwards, the water pump went. However, there still seemed to be an overheating issue so after finding the viscous fan was iffy, I replaced that.
Still overheating when standing in traffic, the thermo was replaced so that now, there was nothing in the system that wasn't new or under three months old (even the heater matrix was replaced after it started leaking).
I've had sniffer tests to check for head gasket leaks and even had a month or so where there was no issue...
Last week, climbing a steep hill I saw the gauge start to climb well above normal and then next day, sitting in traffic, up it went again.
Now replaced the only original remaining item; the engine temp sender.
Will test it on the steep hill again today but my question is this, unless the problem is an intermittent one (in which case, pass the gun) what the f@*cks going on!
Anything you guys might know, short of suggesting the head comes off, that isn't in my logic path?
I look forward to your comments...
Kind regards,
