4.2 TDi Overheating

[Hodge]

Interesting... Might look into it.
I'm sure it was 590 i was getting other stuff and all sorts of numbers were thrown around so don't remember 100%.
Might be less.

Look the ufi fan and hub assembly does work but it is only something that should compliment a well maintained system. It is really $600 wasted if the rest of your system isnt up to scratch. So I would recommend before forking out for a ufi unit make sure your cooling system is 100%. Then you can decide which way to go.

All I will say about radiators is I have one of those $1100 items in my ute. It has nearly 50% more capacity than standard, is full alloy and is only a 2 core. I have never had any issues with temps even when towing a 3.5t horsefloat. But when I put the radiator in I completely service the cooling system- all new hoses, full flush of block,heater core and header tank, new thermostat, waterpump and caps.

Is that the pwr radiator you have Mat? That something else i was thinknig about a while ago too. would a thicker two core be better than a 3core...

Have you heard much about Aussie Desert coolers? They are only around the corner from me.

Mines an adrad item that I purchased through ARE. I never considered a pwr item

As for 2 core vs 3 core there are so many things that need to be taken into consideration so its hard to really make a call on that. Things like surface area, airflow through the core, water flow through the radiator, capacity, frontal area etc etc. Most decent ones will be 2 core from what I have seen.

I have a good quality 2 core radiator put together by bundoora radiators.

Good hoses with a higher rated radiator cap and performance pump.

Standard thermostat and all the shrouds fitted properly.

Yes it does... couldn't figure out why temps were up on saturday coming back from the back blocks near yea then when i got home i saw the ambient temp was nearly 40 and i was pushing it towing a trailer. .. highest i saw was 99 going up a long hill up the hume going a little too fast and once i backed down to speed limit temp returned to about 90.

I don't think I'd buy the ufi hub unless I was doing some serious towing. Too much $ for my liking.
The bloke at ufi only mentioned it to me since it was a common item people order with the stuff I'm getting. Kind of like a package.

But I'll be keeping an eye on your feedback about this infinity hub.
