mk2 york 2400 diesel overheating

Postby focarglo » Fri Aug 19, 2016 9:59 am

Hi guys,
I'm going crazy.
I have plenty of good coolant, no oil in water, bothupper and lower tubes from radiator get hot, pump is good, but temperature goes on red. Maybe the valve doesn't fully open? Can I bypass it? Thanks

Is it actually overheating or is the guage just indicating overheating? Maybe try a new temp sender first.

The fan seems to spin free
Shouldn't be fixed when the engine is off?

SOLVED. it was the magnetic control which break down and the fan was spinning too slowly. I just blocked the fan and the axke together and it works
