- I get to the bottom of the overheating issue I had with my VW T3 TDI Camper and put many of your suggestions from my previous video into practice.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, be it advice, suggestions or words of encouragement! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Well done you got there, it’s nearly always something simple. There is nothing as bad as having to watch the temp gauge more than the road.
Thanks! Yeah we're finally at the point where we're planning a trip in it now! 😁👍
He will still watch it. You can bet your left cahoona on that.
great job on sorting your overheating issue
Well done Ross, determination has paid off.
Can't remember: Did you re-set the injector pump timing before the spanner mishap or is that still to do?
You're spot on with those heater hose spring clips, the are a pain! I guess they came about as they are much easier to fit in a factory where the engine is made up before being dropped into the bay. Every one I take off now goes in the bin and gets replaced with a nice new stainless steel jubilee clip... You can't beat 'em.
Keep it up👍😉.
Thanks! I had the pump timing dialled in perfectly when the spanner mishap happened. I was just tightening everything up! I did check it again after doing the head though. I believe the pipe clips are to do with them keeping even pressure on the hose, and that they don't work their way loose over time. I just find them annoying though.
***********CONGRATULATIONS************
You now have your life and sanity restored.

We will never know what the problem was, as you addressed 4 tasks in this video.
The real upshot is, it doesn't matter which one it was, it's feck'n fixed.
Thank you! I'm confident it was the thermostat. I didn't find issues with anything else as I went through it.
Good result, pleased for you.
Thanks very much!
Finally!! congrats!
Great to hear. Hopefully be you can get away for a few adventures before winter now
Thanks! That's the plan! Fingers crossed.
well done you fix overheating issue, I liked your rectangular headlight, can you make a video how do you install it ? Thanks
Great job 👏
Thank you! 😁
Thumbs up for the new intro too, made me laugh.
Thanks! Glad you like it. I thought it turned out well myself!
Happy days!
Hey man , don't suppose you have a drawing of the coolant hose layout do you? Just put a 1z in my van and wanna make sure I rout them to the heater correctly , cheers
Cheers Ross - I was a able to quickly wrap my head around the cooling system yesterday from this video and resolve a 1Y overheating issue I was having. Thought I was going to have to cancel a road trip 😅
Glad I could help!
Nice one Ross! Glad you got it sorted. What’s the function of the sealant on the thermostat housing by the way? I’ve never used it on any of my VW engines, there should be a big o ring?
I usually just put a small smear of rtv on the seal to help it cause I've had leaks before when I didn't. I just went overboard with it this time.
@@Endfloat I like to use a bit of silicon grease on o rings, I reckon it helps lubricate them so they settle into position properly.
I often do that actually. It depends on the application. It's rare I'd use RTV where there's an O-ring, but in this instance I did because I know how prone to leaking they are.
This might be my issue. I just had my water pump/thermostat replaced. Unfortunately I have a 1.9L engine so the thermostat is kind of a nightmare to get to. I'm just hoping the guys at the local shop just didn't put enough coolant in it because I have had to add quite a bit of coolant and I don't see any leaks.
Woohoo! Nice one
Thanks! 👍😁
Good to see it finally fixed after all the chew on 😁👍. Ran my Mk1 golf without a stat for years and didnt do any harm. Nearly choked on my tea at the farting golf comment 😂😂😂😂 guess it had a dump valve then 😆 got mine finished yesterday so well pleased 😃
Thanks! I would have ran the engine without a stat until I got a new one if it had turned out that the one installed had gone bad and needed replacing. Luckily that wasn't the case. I didn't explain the thing about the golf well in the video. There's this thing where people with DSG VWs modify a setting that cuts the ignition at every gear change which means it pops through the exhaust on every gearshift. It sounds ridiculous, and is generally being driven by someone who looks like they replaced the driver's seat with a sun lounger.
@@Endfloat ahhh a pop corn limiter thing 🌽😂 they do sound dumb 😂
@@davidhenderson7722 ahh there's some knuckle draggers of "car enthusiasts" around my way. DSG farts are only one of a number of things they seemingly do just to impress their other knuckle dragging friends.
@@Endfloat lol.🤣
those hose clips are very good
They do work. They're just a pain to get on and off.
They eventually fail, as they loose their "springiness". They were used because of costs, not efficiency. With the average Vanagon being over 35 years old, they need to be replaced, before they allow leaks.
Hi
I’m following your thermostat change/ bleeding. I went to loosen the. Rad valve / bleed screw but it just turns and doesn’t loosen. Any ideas please?????
Love the channel especially T3/ beetle stuff
Is the insert that the plug goes into turning or is it the threads pulled? Either way, see if you can pry up a little while turning it to see if it comes free.
@@Endfloat yes it’s turning, thanks for the reply I’ll give it a go
Yahoo!
That's just what I said! 😁
Hello. Have overheating issue with VW T25 2L Petrol. after 1hr on idle i don’t hear the fan kicking in.. I have change the thermostat and temp gauge sender which the temperature needle on the dash are all the way up on high. Any advise please?? The T25 is for my client and I have never worked on this vehicle before 1984 old banger🤷🏾♂️
Is the radiator getting hot?
Jump the fan switch connector and see if the fan is working on high and low speed. If the fan works its faulty wiring or a faulty fan switch.
What was the problem? The sealant on the small hole?
Yes, either that or the dirt wedged in the stat itself.
did my ears miss hear?....Duel Cabbage Way??....love it
That's an old one my dad says! I always thought it was funny.
I spend time on my classics trying to get rid of a misfire and there's three idiots in my village (well there's at least 'one' in every village) who have bought add on's to make there car's misfire, it's crazy.. Cheers 🍻
I really do not understand it!
@@Endfloat Me neither, I could never understand the 'dump valve' craze from years ago but now it sounds like the Engine is going to explode @ 4000 rpm.. In 30 years time they will probably think to themselves 'what a dick I was'..
I just bought a 84 Adventure Wagon. It runs great but is getting hot. The thermostat housing temp at 207f. And radiator at 92f. I expecting a stuck thermostat too. Great informative video. Check us out Justbuggin VW TH-cam 😃👍
I surely will, thanks!
