We have a 2013 X250 2.3 Multijet which has done 35,000 miles. We had cambelt and water pump changed 1000 miles ago, as well as oil and filter change. We are now in Spain and the van has overheated with 'Insufficient engine oil pressure' displayed. Temperature gauge was midway and normal, oil level was normal. Engine block was very hot but radiator cool. Fans did not come on. After waiting a few hours we set off again. Temperature slow to get to normal and all seemed well for 50km but stopping for fuel we got 'Insufficient engine oil pressure' displayed and 'Change engine oil'. Again, temperature gauge normal. We had the oil and filter changed at a garage and they said all was well. 20km later ... same pressure warning. Hot engine, cool radiator. Now waiting on our breakdown cover to find a garage. Weekend and local holiday .. great !Question is .... is it the thermostat or faulty water pump ? The thermostat appears to be working as its sensing heat from engine and possibly allowing some cold from radiator but, it appears there's no water circulation so .. water pump ? Help !
