Evening all after a bit of help with my cooling system on my 96 1.9td.
A while back i had a lot of work done after a timing belt slip, had a local garage do all the neccesary work new valves, tappets etc full cambelt kit and gaskets also a second hand diesel pump and had the head sent off and checked which was fine. Got the van back and noticed there was a lot of pressure in the header tank so took it back to them, they took the head back off re sent it away to be scanned which was fine got the van back and all seemed well.
Ive had it back a few weeks now and since the temp guage has started to rise above halfway if i go on motorway and dual cariagways at speeds of 65 and over, If i drive on A-roads at 50ish its fine and sits dead on halfway. The fans are cutting in as they should and its not lost a drop of water, i can also hear what sounds to be water circulating the engine when i stop and shut off the engine.
I guess the point im trying to make here is do people think this is a problem or not, my garage dont seem to think it is, ive extensivly searched all the similar threads and the views seem mixed, im paranoid about overheating it so find myself worried every time i drive it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
