- VIANO 2.2CDI EXTRA LONG 2011
Hi All.
I am a new member and looking for some advise.
My viano reached red light temperature (I stopped and switched off engine straight away)last week on the motorway and to cut a long story short I have had the following work carried out but today temp gauage still reached over 100 degrees.
New thermostat fitted - no change
New water pump fitted- no change
New expansion tank cap fitted as old one was not locking in the correct position. The old one would tighten but the handle on it was not level.
Since the original problem I have been able to maintain an engine temp of about 80 degrees by turning the heating up!
Pressure test on cooling system was fine.
Any ideas of where to go next would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
