Hi all
Thank you for allowing me on this very informative forum.
I know there is a lot of threads on 300 TDi's overheating and a lot of good advice given.
But after following all the advice, recoring radiator, replacing water pumps, fan and even fitting another recon head and still blow head gasgets...ouch !!!
This is my fourth head gasget in 3 years (2nd this year)
(2 notch gasget) and every time skimmed and pressure tested (new head bolts)
New expansion tank and hoses.
New thermostat working and fitted correctly.
I have installed the VTDi turbo and boost up to 1.2 bar, EGT monitor (Madman) never exceeds 720 deg.
(With the VTDi turbo can drive 120 km/h in 5th gear normal up and down hill roads.)
I do not abuse the truck on off road tracks but use as a holiday and weekend vehicle.
Came back from Inhambane Mozambique and blown gasget at Xai-Xai.
It has 320 000 km on the clock
Things not done on cooling system...Not blocked radiator bypass.
Not removed Aircon Radiator in front of radiator..
Any advice will be appreciated...I Love my Disco...
