Silverspaceship Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hello all, I need some help,( my wife has been saying this for years). I recently bought a 2.8 diesel grand voyager automatic, 05 plate. My problem is that the temp gauge rises when I go up hill and accelerate to maintain speed. I have read a post from 2015 about this issue occurring when towing uphill. The suggestion was radiator replacement. Had this issue ever been solved with flushing the system/rad or is replacement the only solution? Thanks in advance. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignev Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Hiya Tony and welcome! Reading lots of posts on the problem it does seem that basically yes the radiator change is the way to go.And don't forget to flush it as described in those posts, forward not back flush, and then use the distilled water with the correct coolant, HOAT I think - I know someone will check and correct if I'm wrong. I have changed mine - as it was knackered and leaking - on our 3.3 petrol and it wasn't a difficult job at all. Try ebay for a rad, that's where mine came from, about £60 if I remember correctly. For technical help it's better to post in the vehicle assistance sections by the way! Cheers, Nev Edited August 19, 2019 by bignev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
