Any way to check CRD Water pump

[growler2058]

The bastard got hot on me going up the freeway outta Adelaide Saturday. Not as bad as last time. It got to 109C. The only thing not replaced was the water pump. Is there any tell tale like a drip or anyway to test the bastard before I replace it? Thermostat has already been replaced. Recon radiator done. Viscous hub has been serviced. What else could it be? Has been fine up till Saturday

how fast were you going , how much weight were you carrying / towing , what engine oil are you running .

100km up a steep hill for 12km. Cool day bugger all weight and penrite oil. Normally will only get to 95C

I'd have to find the docket, but from memory they replaced the oil, something else i cant remember. It sounds like an XD XE falcon fan now. I felt it against another same year as mine and it feels identical

Well I stopped it overheating up the freeway today by not having it in O/D. Didnt go over 94C. Looks like I need a trans service and add a trans cooler

great to hear you have solved the problem and will keep this in mind the next time mine does it to

Got it booked in for a trans service and flush for Friday
