G'day all
Got a quick question. I have an 05 VX T/D and have been having a few issues with it. It all started when i got the car, the temp guage ran very low and when i went up hills or boosted around the temp guage went up to half and the thermo and hub fans would come on. I eventually managed to track it down to an after market thermostat that was a different rating. I have changed it, and now the temp guage never moves from half.
Today being the first real hot day in Radelaide (36 degrees) i noticed that all the fans came on a few times whilst driving into town. Is this normal? I have a mate who has a new hilux and his fans have never come on, not even towing 2 tonne. I have heard that when the prado gets hot its too late they go bang.
The cooling system got flushed about 15k ago and had genuine toyota coolant put in which is still at the correct level.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Cheers
