My 4.2tdi has just begun to get hot while towing, particularly on inclines. I think first I will get the radiator flushed.
I owned a Toyota once which had an overheating issue and it was exhausting and never solved so I ended up selling it. I did everything to fix it but pull the head off. I don't want to go down that road again.
I am told that Patrols are known for getting hot when towing, is that true?
It has never faulted before now and Ive owned it for 7 years.
Perhaps I am asking too much as I am pulling 2.5t plus a loaded tray and the days here right now have been 40 degrees+.
What do you think?
