Your video took me back, when I was a kid my dad had an early VW camper and that would over heat, I remember it being a real hot day and having the heater on full blast to take the heat away from the engine. 😂 Another great watch guys. xx

When the temperature rises. you can turn on the heater and turn on your blower. it cools better.

Yeah I had the heater on full blast 🤣🤣 but that hill was torture... the 1.6 is not fit for them. But definitely makes a help having the heater on

When I was running my business restoring VW, my neighbour had a business repairing radiators. He had many trade customers, mechanics who would bring him radiators to flush or re-core. Because over time the small tubes can fill up with small bits of debris that can block or restrict coolant flow, which makes proper cooling in high temperatures harder. If the radiator is the original one, this will be likely. Also being a diesel with a cast iron block small rust particles and debris come from the engine block more than the alloy water cooled engine vw t25. And the stronger concentration of anti freeze / coolant will help. Also worth checking... the small zigzag cooling strips between the radiator tubes can become blocked or damaged and won't let air flow through. My dad had a T25 water cooled petrol, his had an electric fan, I'm unsure if yours will but if it has make sure your fan switch and fan is working. I hope this helps :)

Thanks!! You had a business restoring old Vws? Where was that based? I must have a look at the rad when I get back. The fan is working. I've it wired on a switch as well so I can turn it on whenever I need it

Cool video, hot engine 🙃 That reminded me when i was trying to attempt a monastery high in the mountains with a ‘87 jetta 1.6TD with four ppl and a trailer with camping gear. Maaan, at some point it was struggling even in 1st gear 😮 and because i’m lucky, it blew the fuse for the cooling fan. 😂 got to love them old VW’s

I see u get your diesel in "bon rea" they r always mega good prices, as you can still pay up to 20c litre higher in other nearby stations . Although Spain has a cool way also of giving ye back some of tax at checkout. Great footage again.

Great video guys! We are heading up towards Costa Brava as it’s too hot in Granada. Currently 24 degrees at 2200hrs! You guys need a diesel heater! Put it on your list. Will you go to Bardenas Reales? It’s stunning and has a circular 30km route through.
