Reply With Quotecan be done but its barely worth the effort. the 300tdi is amply cooled if the cooling system is working at anything over about 80% overall effeciency.

Supporterhere is a question for the sages on the forum.
anyone heard of the following and if so how successful was it? or is he just having a lend of me
when the new owner of my classic turned up the other day to tke delivery he turned out to be a land rover enthusiest and suggested to me to install a radiator from a V8 model disco to get around the cooling problems the 300 TDi can have and then to either relocate or get a custom intercoooler.
the other idea i have thought of is
has anyone fitted vents to the rear of the bonnet to let the hot air out,? if so, again how successful was it?

I havent had an issue with cooling on my 300Tdi until lately, but the radiator is due to be rodded or recored i would guess. Never heard of cooling problems in 300Tdi's when the cooling system has been well maintained.
