Hi everyone, I did a search and could find a few answers, but need advice.
My 1987 300TD 168k Miles keeps over heating. By over heating I mean always up around the 110-115 mark. I have the heat on bust at all times and am driving on normal roads. I replaced T-stat and replaced coolant. Checked all hoses, and filled coolant on a hill to get as much air out as I could. I am not getting any flow through the rad I think. The cars temp will be at 110-115 and rad is stone cold. Upper rad hose is hot lower is cool. The shop said its most likely the rad. The pump is not leaking at all. What do you all think? The rad is going to cost me 350... : ( Then the cost to install. If that don't work I'm guessing the pump is the next to replace. Is there any way to test it?
Thanks.
Jason
