Hey everyone, I've been looking through the forums and seen this issue a lot but nothing that can pinpoint an issue I am currently having. My VT is overheating randomly, I've replaced Inlet Manifold Gaskets, Water pump, Thermostat, Heater core;Heater Tap, Radiator plus cap, coolant sensor and every coolant hose all within the last 1000 km.
I've bled the cooling system with a Vacuum bleeder as well as a coolant bucket on the radiator until no bubbles. The problem I'm having is every now and then the Temp gauge will rise until hot at idle or under acceleration in almost all driving conditions at random. Some weeks it won't happen at all. Recently when It happened I checked the coolant overflow and it's sitting bang on perfect between the markers.
I'm lost for ideas, I think it might be the head gasket and I've TK tested it at work and it passed but that's the last item in the system that I haven't touched.
Any ideas? Cheers
