Overheating When Towing
Hi
I have had my Surf 2 years with no real problems. I have however just started to tow a 20 foot caravan. On the first trip all OK untill a long hill then the temp started to raise. Once up the hill all OK. I did feel that the engine was not getting all the power to the weels. Changed the gearbox oil including pumping through the oil cooler and torque convertor. Whent from Scarborough to Lincoln went perfect on the motorway I could hardly fel the caravan at 60 mph. On the return trip all OK untill I stopped for fuel then on even small hills the temp went up. Going over the Humber Bridge it crept higher towards the red. After that it got hot on every hill. Stoped south of Bridlington for a break and all seemed well again. Temp went up on long hills but only a couple of needle widths.
I plan to fit a second oil cooler in series with the rad one
ANY TIPS
