Over heating problems
Posted: 04 Oct 2017 07:54
Good morning all,
Help needed for Savuti !!. We have just returned from a Bots- Namibia trip and had the following problems with one still persisting and cannot solve it.
Trip started with a cracked radiator at Harrismith, Patrol did not overheat. Fitted new radiator from Graham,the Delta dealership worked until 1230 AM,
amazing people. Radiator bled, temperature gauge was normal even through the soft sands. On the trip back from Francistown to JHB started to overheat,
gauge on the 3/4 mark, never went into the red . Left it with Graham in PTA to check replaced the viscous fan. On the trip from PTA to the farm ( Nottingham road)
about 40kms from home started to overheat 3/4 again.Next morning it took 1L water.
I then took it to Silverton Radiators who did a pressure and chemical test , all good. However the radiator cap was only registing .8bar instead of 1,2bar fitted new cap.
The waterpump was replaced 15000kms ago
Went to DBN yesterday all well except this morning when I checked the water levels,the expansion tank was full and the radiator needed water.
WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM
