Question hi i own a 300tdi which has started overheating and water doesnt seem to be circulating through the system any ideas?
Answer Hi Craig,
are you certain it is a headgasket problem? Could it be a water pump problem? What about the condition of your radiator? When was the last time you replaced the thermostat?
You could have the cooling system tested at almost any local garage. This could include a test of your radiator and thermostat. Since thermostat is inexpensive, why not just replace it?
You could also pressure test the cylinders for leakage.
