Hey guys,
Just back from a trip to the Bunya Mountains. The Diesel Terrano 97 was loaded to the hills and performed well (temp gauge 1/2 way) until we climbed up the ranges. Usually in the bush, the gauge goes just above half but no further. This time the think just got hotter and hotter (past 3/4 mark). Thank God we got to the top with a slight descend where the engine cooled to 1/4 within 2 minutes.
This kind of temp variation is too great in my books and I was hoping somebody had some advise on what to do. The radiator is brand new (2 month) and the viscous fan seems to grab ok. Also, since the thing runs ok on the road, I assumed the thermostat is ok too.
Any suggestions welcome and perhaps someone knows a decent mechanic in the Brisbane metropolitan that could do some work on this type of car.
Cheers Pepper
