Cool well in the event that i need it, thats where I will be going to :) Thank you for searching that out for me
Just another thought.
My tdi300 used to do this and then it also happend to me when I dropped the 4.6L V8 into it. The expansion tank gets old and the cap no longer hold pressure so it would slowly over time leak water which made me think I had done a head gasket until one day I was Accelerating and noticed a bit of coolant came out from underneath the bonnet and the temp gauge went straight up, I pulled over as quickly as I could turned it off and checked the expansion tank it was bone dry. Got it towed home asked a million questions on here and spoke to MR about it and they said this is a common problem with the old black expansion tanks so I bought a new one off them and havernt looked back. my tank was about 9years old when this happened.
Good luck hope it doesnt work out too expensive.
That is something I thought may have been the issue.... How much was your new Tank? I think that will be my next task lol I dont want to take any chances
