The td has now got 222000 on it. So far all I’ve done is block the egr. Viscous fan seems ok and temp drop down pretty quickly once I back off. Went for a drive today - about 40 odd outside, sat at 80ks and temps were at 84ish, then sat on 100 for a bit and they got up to 95.
How many liters of coolant does the td take and what ratio do you use?
