Hi All again,
Recently the P38 has intermittently losing power when it has got hot(up near the red) I have done datateks fan mod so have no viscous fitted. The fans come on fine and bring the temp back down when required.
The issue I’m having is more and more often I end with no power once it got up near the red. I know the ecu limits power one car is HOT and I can deal with this. Todays problem was temp had settled back to half way on guage but I lost power for a few miles intermittently which I believe could be a faulty or intermittently faulty ecu coolant stat.
Does that sound like a plausible explanation? I also think there is a coolant temp sensor on fip but I’m unsure of the symptoms of this.
Apart from this car drives well with recent water pump and upgraded radiator And uses no coolant.
Any one any ideas?
Many thanks,
Jacob
