Hi all
I am new to this, but will give it a try.
Ford transit 350 2.4 diesel on a 56 plate.
When it goes up hill or comes under load or have to high rev the temperature creep's up to the red sometimes to 120 and goes into limp mode.
Ok so first had it tested for head gasket.
Mechanic put 2 bottles of sealer in it. No change.
Changed the thermostate and housing as the spring behind the stat had broken. No change
Then changed the pump and vacuum pump and gasket. No change
Then changed the rad. Fan belt and tensioner. No change
Then changed the temperature sensor. No change
Then changed the oil cooler thermostate valve. No change
Then took the EGR cooler off and cleaned it out. No change
I have flushed the system both ways and changed all the coolant for new.
And changed the rad cap. No change
It only seems to get hot in the engine as I can take the cap off and it didn't seem to be that hot. But can hear bubbling in the block.
I am at my wits end over this and cant sleep please anyone help.
