Gq overheating problems. help needed
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 8:45 pm
Fully rebuilt TD42 Turbo in my GQ new head radiator waterpump etc etc. I have a bonnet scoop every thing brand new
Had twin thurmo fans car ran hot above 110km on 40 deg day on a trip had to run at 100kmotherwise temp gauge in the red.
put the original fan assembly back on new fan blade and viscus hub and shielding car ran cooler but got to same temp about 10kms higher. so original fan system better than twin thurmo fans.
I fitted a piece of rubber underneath the car to help with air flow back to the front diff didnt seam to make any difference.
Somebody stated that there is a modified waterpump to slow the water going around the motor and they then run cooler. if so where do i get one from. any other suggestions I can do. Viscous hub is tight and has heabs of silicon in it.
