Engine over heating - Help required please

[Geewhiz]

Hi Folks , looking for assistance .

I have an 02 year - 2.0 litre transit van. Just your bog standard one. Sorry thats as much info as I know.

The engine is over heating , cutting out . The water pipes etc that run from radiator to water tank / housing where you top up with anti freeze /water isnit heating up , pipes not getting warm ( there isint a blockage as when you squeeze the pipes it is making ripples in the tank . The air / vents inside van is also blowing cold air . It has just had a new thermostat fitted .

Any ideas ? Thanks

The new stat could be faulty?

But quite common is the water pump to fail, it’s run from a splined shaft from the p/s pump and the splines can fail and prevent it turning and circulating

A few folk said water pump . I was on the phone to a mobile mechanic and he ruled out water pump . So it put me of track a bit . Getting a boy to fit one tomorrow ta

was it running right before you changed the thermostat

I didn’t have enough anti freeze in mines and it been frozen the last few days , I used a kettle on the pipes to get me going, my van was overheating after 5 mins driving , I done a coolant change yesterday and has been fine today , 2.0 100ps 06
