Hello again, I'm trying to do the tdi timing with vcds but I never seem to get above 60c would this be a sensor or possibly thermostat? Even after 90 miles with big up hills I don't get near 80c Thanks yet again Simon ------------- SWB VW LT 28 2.5TDI |

If you have an auxiliary water pump check the vacuum pipe is connected and in good nick. Guess how I know this can cause exactly those symptoms  TT

Dodgy stat also, they can rust and stick open. How does your coolant and tank look? ------------- 2006 LT35 TDI 109 AVR |

The coolant is disgusting, it needs flushing but I don't want to drop rusty water out and stain the floor under me. Possibly a stat and some antifreeze is needed then. This van is a nightmare!! ------------- SWB VW LT 28 2.5TDI |

A controlled drain into a bucket, should be a port by the drain screw on the rad, attach a piece of hose and keep things clean. Stat and coolant is cheap enough.... she will repay you, all this love and pennies you putting in lol ------------- 2006 LT35 TDI 109 AVR |
