Hi all
I made it down to the south of Spain in my 1989 2.5Di,
About 3 days ago I had to take the thermostat out as it got stuck shut. It ran fine for a few hundred miles but when on the mountain roads and in 3rd or 2nd gear the temp needle creeps up to the M and occasionally just above the M in the gauge. It cools back down when I am back in 5th gear and going down hill.
The head seems fine, no pressurising or coolant loss and the rad pipes are not hard, water pump is also new and cam belt is aligned properly.
I am thinking of taking the rad off and giving it a clean but is there anything else I should check?
Thanks allot for any comments/suggestions
