Hi,
My Sedici (2006, 45,000 miles) with the Multijet 1.9 Diesel engine is over-heating. The oil temperature gauge will rise up when I accelerate at all hard, or up a hill. It can just about hold 60 on the motorway without the temp rising, but as soon as I reach a hill it will heat up and I may have to slow to 40 to avoid going into the red.
I hooked up the ODB cable today and recorded a few readings related to the DPF and so on:
DPF clogging: 87%
Oil degradation: 55%
Avg. temp last 5 regens: 605 C
No error codes.
I have been towing a trailer recently, and the problem started around that time. I am wondering if the towing may have degraded the oil.
Coolant level is fine, I squeeze the radiator tubes too, just in case there was a trapped bubble. Radiator fan is working.
I suppose it could be a fault with the temperature reading? I'm not actually seeing any adverse affects, loss of power, smoke form the exhaust, etc.
Has anyone had a similar over-heating problem with this engine that could point me to the cause of it? Thanks for your help.
