Hoping someone can give me some clues here...
I have a 2000 V6 Petrol and have not had any major issues other than replacing the air flow meter however have now had an overheating problem twice while towing my caravan.
In the 9 years I have owned it the temp gauge has not moved from the same position however 2 weeks ago while driving up a hill the gauge went crazy and the overflow blew spewing coolant everywhere but I was able to stop quickly. Got the car checked and radiator pressure tested and there where no issues and the car has been fine since until this weekend when the same thing happened however I was able to stop quicker and the overflow did not pop.
Does anyone have clues on what may be the problem? Radiator cap is ok and I cannot see any leaks so I am stumped.
Any theories would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim
