I would fit an after market temp and turbo boost gauge.
Suss out your EGR unit too...
Some motors are prone for air locks in the cooling system, and need good burping.
Thermostat removal is a total "NEVER DO".
As they are designed to keep back pressure, and keep the water jackets full of water.
And I have come across 3 of them fitted back to front!
An original manufacturers fitted viscous clutch fan with cowling is almost impossible to beat against an after market thermo fan substitute in 99% of vehicles.
Going up a hill per say at 80kmph ... is still a lot of air air speed over the radiator ...
An electric fan is not going to push any better than that.
Few places can actually do adjustment of injection timing, but worth the cost.
Most radiator flush additives are just "snake oil"
When doing a change of coolant, I do practice undoing the lower radiator hose clamp off till loose.
And bring the motor up to hot, then reving it until the hose pops off.
It will blow a lot of crap out!!!
But you will need to rinse off all the over spray of coolant.
Self evaluation recommended.
The radiator hose on the sucking side ( some have an inner spring) can collapse when real hot, restringing the flow dramatically!
" made in China " is a good indicator.?..

I have used ? Chemiweld ? In the past with good results
Completely drain and flush all coolant out and replace thermostat after about a week

I've used it in a car that had a leaking head gasket,pushing air into the radiator. It worked for about 6 months, then the problem came back. I decided to put another bottle into the car. Huge mistake. It blocked up all the pipes in the radiator. I tried reverse flushing the radiator etc. but it was ruined. Basically, it's a quick fix for a short time on minor gasket leaks,but, the problem will come back. wiley.
only put it in as a last resort as i have run out of ideas the crunch will come when i take the van for a run on the weekend that way i know if it boils again or notBlocker said:

I've used it many times as well as chemweld.7.62marksman said:
To be honest chemweld lasted the longest about 10000k.
We use it in our bush bashes repeatedly until you can't use it anymore.
But I would never put any of it in a half decent motor.
Redfin.I hear you mate...but it is helpful to understand just how a man with a military background such as Ken has,goes about his daily business.
It is not a part of his DNA to give up on a problem. It's like...I will not be defeated and will not take a backward step until this problem is eliminated..one way or another.Having had all sorts of problems with his previous unit...the mighty Hi Lux the'Turtle'.he cuts his losses and relying on information from what he assumes as a 'friend' he forks out for the current unit.Turns out it has a history!...damn!...and Damn again.
So...what to do...Military mind kicks into play...Jaw becomes set in a determined and indomitable...(impossible to overcome or defeat) angle. Deep brown eyes reveal critical thinking and situational awareness...etc etc etc...Watch out! Staff Sargent Perkins is on the March!...Heehe he

Id suggest that he do what all good military men do when something refuses to comply with standing orders....... Apply RULE 303.
