Overheating 2.5TD
« on: 12 February 2012, 20:35:50 »
Recently had a 'seriously hot' TD admitted to the 'Tractor Centre' .................  ::)

Here's the usual culprit achilles heel:



Anyway, pump now replaced along with complete cooling system drain/flush/back-flush plus 5 litres of Vx 'red stuff' antifreeze.
After a good ragging around the Valleys, the engine temp constantly sits just above mid-point on the gauge with piping hot heating/demisting and all seems well. Fingers crossed! ;)


My personal recommendation:
Always replace the plastic-impellored BMW water pump with a Unipart metal-impellored jobbie.

Unipart's part number is: UGCGWP2585 and it retails at around 50 quid!
