Morning all, have spent a decent amount of time researching this forum (and others) but with no success so here goes..
I’ve recently bought a VW T5 2006 1.9tdi that has started to overheat. There is no heat from the vents inside, and both supply hoses to the matrix at the bulkhead are cold.
I have changed thermostat (and confirmed it works in saucepan) but the bottom radiator hose is staying cold.
I have had the front end off, flushed radiator, flush heater matrix and flush all the system when back together, bled, but same problems.
I’ve done a DrHeadGasket sniff test which is coming back clear, and there is no oil in water or water in oil.
What would advice/next steps be? Water pump? Although I did pull a pipe off when the engine was running at decent temp and it looked a decent flow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
