I have a V6 Vt series 1 and have a major overheating problem that i cant solve.
The car runs fine all the time then on a medium to long trip will suddenly spike and over heat to the stage where i get the "hot hot hot" warning on the dash.
I have blown a heater tap and replaced it due to this overheating problem. I have also changed the themostat hoping it may solve he problem
I dont believe it is a inidcation problem as the engine extreamly hot.
I suspect it may have something to do with the heater box as there were new hoses running from the heater box to the heater tap when i brought the car, it also has a bad mustard smell in the car and the air conditioning degassed itself not long after i brought it.
Does anyone know if the heater box can cause the car to over heat inconsistently, will changing the heater box and the seals fix the problem?
I have also drained, and flushed the radiator but the problem still persist.
does anyone have any suggestions to what the problem may be?
