Overheating

I had this problem lefited the rear of the vehicle and run it to get the air out BTW

Hi there I have a ford transit tipper 2010 2.4rwd over heating problems

Sometimes I can be sitting at 70mph for about 40 mins it will got right up to 120degrees and when u slow down it goes back to normal it only seems to do it when your at higher gears but today I was in 3rd gear with weight on the back going up a sligh hill for a few minutes it went right up to 120degrees again but the engine never seems to cut out? And sometimes you could sit at 70mph for hours and it wouldn't do it very weird!

I have replaced the radiator, water pump, and thermostat.

My van is overheating while idling. The gauge goes to hot but not all the way to hot then it comes back to the original spot. The radiator, water hose, heater hose and thermostat have been replaced. First time this happened we notice coolant on garage floor. Radiator was changed. I have not notice anymore coolant on the ground.
What is the problem?
Thank you

Hi
I have a transit torneo with a/c front and rear. The rear heating comes on full by itself, when the control is set to cold.

My 04 2.4cdi transit is overheating and cutting out on the thermal trip on motorways but fine in slow traffic. We have serviced it and changed thermostat it is not using water.

Water level is at max with no water lost.
Radiator looks ok fins in reasonable condition.
Most likely to cut off when on motorway at 70 or climbing hills.
The temperature gauge moves rapidly to red cuts off engine, then rapidly returns to normal and runs ok. Note the water level had expanded when van had got hot.

Just flushed rad, water that was in system was clear no rust or large pieces of muck. Good flow of water through rad using a hose from tap.

Hi
good news found the fault, thought the information might be helpful if you get asked about this type of fault again.
The impeller in the waterpump had become unsecured from the fanbelt drive so at low revs the impeller spin but at higher revs the impeller was freewheeing so at low revs it worked but when reving high it was slipping and overheating causing the overheat to cut engine.

I have a major problem - broke down in Spain last week with sudden overheating. My van is Ford Transit 2.4 turbo diesel 05', was away to Malaga with delivery and noticed that the engine temperature started to rise sharply once during my 2000km journey from Calais, however, didn't reach the maximum temperature and sharply went back to normal again. When offloaded in Malaga started my way back the following day, after 30 miles going up a hill temperature rised to maximum very quickly and engine lost the power - I stopped, switched it off and after a minute it was fine again - temperature showing normal and I continued my way for another 60 miles. Temperature rised a few times but not till the maximum, then suddenly it went to 120 degrees in 10 seconds (again against a hill), engine shut down and I stopped at the nearest parking. I checked the coolant bay - the level was normal, when I opened the lid - there was no major pressure coming, no leaks, no oil in the coolant. I stayed over the night in the nearest hotel and went to Granada Ford garage the following morning. They were not sure were was the problem as they tested my van in the town and temperature stayed normal, there were no leaks or oil in the coolant. They said they need to change the temperature sensor, then the termostat, then - fan itself - it was just guessing all the time. I spent two days waiting for this to be done and on the last day when the fan was changed they went on a test drive onto the motorway - it happened again the same way going against a hill. Now, they say the headgasket needs to be changed and looking for nearly 3000 Euro to do this - I'm sure they only guessing again! The van itself costed me less than this price and I think because they can't find the problem, they are changing all they can imagine could possibly cause this. I know that with headgasket there should be other simptoms also like oil in coolant, white smoke, some leakage and big pressure build ups, none of these are present in my case. Please help with some ideas what to do because I feel they held me a hostage over this situation!

The problem is that the van is in the garage and they won't let me deal with it myself - it's like they are just playing a guessing game - replacing more and more parts with the headgasket now costing me thousands

Hi. This sounds almost identical to the issues I have with my 2007 LR Defender (Ford Puma 2.4 TDCi engine).
Have you been able to solve the problem?

Hello Philip. Yes, I solved the problem after getting the owner to come clean and tell me what happened before he brought it to me. The van was used tow a trailer loaded with a heavy piece of equipment from California to the east coast then back to California on the way back to California it started overheating in Illinois. So the driver instead of stopping when this started and having the van towed to a repair shop for repair he kept on driving and would add water when the temp gauge would be pegged all the way hot. After doing this a dozen times he called the owner to let him know so it was taken to a Ford dealer where they changed the water pump and sent him on his way. They didn't check anything else. 30 miles down the road it started overheating again so the driver decided to load up a ton of water and limp the van home. I found the heater hoses and a 1"coolant return line had an inner and outer rubber layer where the inner layer came apart plugging the radiator and heater core it also collected in the head and block coolant passages which resulted in many overheating cycles, a cracked head and blown head gasket. I replaced all cooling system components, degas bottle, pressure cap, water pump, thermostat, radiator, all rubber hoses, heater core and the cylinder head. Sorry for the long reply I felt it necessary for anyone reading it to understand what the van went through before it was properly repaired. The van is still on the road today trouble free.
