Hello, this is my first post here, I'm from sweden and have made myself a uniqe Golf mk1 diesel.
Here is a project thread about it:
http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4638652Engine is a 1,9 TD AAZ, the problem with it is that it's getting really hot under load, like when i do 60 mph or faster or push it hard.
The faster i drive, the hotter the car gets, but not as hot as it boils.
Radiator is flushed and thermostat is working (opens at 87 degrees celsius).
I my expansion tank i can see lot's of tiny bubbles. You can see for yourself here:
Bad headgasket vw TD?Could it be a small crack in the head or a bad headgasket?
How fast does the tank pressurize after starting it cold?
Just looked at your build....
, quite the rig haha and them lights probly about push you backwards lol
How do you power 10kilowatts of light like that?
I've heard of large speakers (like a 1000+ watt sub system) killing a battery in minutes (with the car running...)
but you must have at least 1,000 watts of lights on there?!
Is this your left4dead, 28 days later, resident evil survival tank?
oh, in response to your actual post...
are you POSITIVE it's not boiling?
Steam doesn't transfer heat.
it's not boiling. Not even when i open the cap when its hot.
The lights forward is actually 1005 watts, everythins is 1445watts. No problem at all to power.
Double batteries (one on the roofrack) and a 120 amp alternator.
A few clips of the lights.
