I suppose its possible that they were all exploded with teh original blocked radiator/ seems strange that you loose minimal coolant with the diesel one tho in spite of its hissing all the time?
I had written the diesel one off as faulty, as it even hisses when you undo the rad drain screw with the cap left on...  :-/

But it does seem to be the best cap  :-/

Maybe you could try my cap(s) and see what you get?

would rather you tried mine!! i have new antifreeze in and dont want to lose it!!! give you a text when i get home tomorrow as i have a short day!!!!
Tomorrow is the one day I am not around (Up at Drax).  Any other day any good?

Interestingly, Quinton Hazell don't list a cap for 2.5TD in their online catalogue, on 2.0/2.5/3.0  :-?

Think i mentioned in an earlier post about having the correct cap....EPC lists 4 types, one for petrols and 3 different one for diesels.

For the cost of one, they carnt be that much.....I'd suggest getting a new correct cap from vx dealer and trying that.....then you can discount it or even better it might solve it  :y

Or

And maybe a correct coolant bottle while your about it  :-/ (does a new coolant bottle come with the cap?  :-/ )

Have you sorted the known problem out yet.....the coolant sensor......its important when fault finding to minimise changes and fix known problems first....

Had that problem on my 2.5TD a couple of years ago, it kept going into limp mode, ended up being the water pump after me shelling out about £380 for  new radiator that i didnt need! >:(

Taxi Driver, I don't think that new bottles come with the cap.  It is silly not to provide a new cap I think.

No, thats this afternoons mission.  As you know, whilst I accept it may create more heat, I am not convinced that this is the issue.

Though you are, of course, correct, and I will have a look at fixing the sensor issue.
