    Radiator upgrades

    Does anyone know if you can get oversize radiators for my 200 tdi.
    When I am loaded up I get up to 105-110 degrees.
    I have a new standard radiator, new viscus fan, new water pump and thermostat.
    I am not loosing any water so I feel my head gasket is fine. Replaced 1 year ago.
    This leads me to think that my radiator cannot get rid of my heat on hot days (38 degrees +) when I am under load.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Peter

    Don't load up so much on very hot days, reduce speed and or fit a oil cooler to take some heat away.

    Oh, what fluid are u using?
    Correct or different fluid might help also.

    Take care and don't let it boil.

    Sound like a 4 core and external oil cooler is the go.
    Do you know where I can get a correct size oil cooler.

    Thanks
