Hi all,
The problem I have is after flushing my LN130 coolant system the engine temp climbs slowly when stationary and engine at idle. In this state the blowers blow cold ish air. If I raise the revs to about 2000rpm the temp drops very quickly to normal and the heaters blow hot if selected. It's as though the flow of coolant isn't 'man enough' at low revs. I am thinking that the level may be low but the expansion bottle is about half full. One thing I have noticed is the filler cap is on the thermostat housing, not the radiator and the outlet from the radiator is higher than the filler cap. When I refilled after flushing I filled the rad by bending the rubber pipe up slightly then filling until the pipe was full then replaced it on the thermostat housing. When filling up using the filler cap, with a coke bottle as a header, it just filled the expansion bottle. When driving the temp stays normal with no problem. Any thoughts from anyone would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
