Overheating series3 diesel
« on: October 21, 2013, 08:04:13 PM »
My 2.25 is running hot and I can't work out why.

Fan is turning fine.
Replaced thermostat.
Drained and flushed it to within an inch of its life.

Water pump replacement next?

I shall reframe from saying replace it with a 200tdi  ;)
I agree chances are there are no fines on the back of the water pump!  :)

I know it needs a 200tdi but now it's become a matter of stubbornness. It sounds like someone is using a hammer under the bonnet but it keeps fighting on!

My guess based on the tapping noise you describe is that one of the pre-combustion chambers in the cylinder head is loose & if not remedied VERY QUICKLY is liable to destroy the relevant piston, so I would suggest removal of the cyl head for closer examination.
 Keep us posted if my guess is correct.
