Hi,
Have sorted the issue?
Had exactly same issue on the way home today.
Pipe near thermostat was worm. Near bottom of the engine hot. Engine itself felt normaly hot.
Collant tank was at a normal level and worm. And for aome reason no high preasure it ahould be when engine is overheating, colant pipes were soft and could be squeezed easily.
All above indicate stuck close thermostat which was taken out so to get home.
Coolant was topped up and strangly temperature stayed at 90deg for nearly 20miles of driving then fell (finally!) to approx 75 deg and stayed at at this level until home was reached after around 100 miles. I was accelerating slowly and drove mainly on motorways.
Water pump seems to be working as idicated by pressure teater.
Not sure why there was no preasure in cooling system if engine was overheating, pipes should be stiff and hard to press even at normal operating temperature. Secondly both radiators fans kept running on full speed even if engine temperature as per gauge was 90deg.
Will replace the thermostat and fingers crossed it will be ok.
