I have posted on this forum before checking whether anyone had similar issues with an overheating 1.7TD.
I love my FIAT and will not get rid of it. I just have this irritating overheating issue.
1. I have replaced the thermostat.
2. I have flushed the cooling system.
3. I have checked the hoses.
4. There is no water in the oil and vice versa.
The only thing I can think of now is that the water pump is at the end of its life span.
The car overheats on the freeway and when to take a long uphill. There are no leaks except for the water pushing out the reservoir.
When you drive and engage the heater, it also comes in intermittently. That is strange and I can only attribute that to the water pump not operating as it should.
I am no mechanic, far from it, just a FIAT owner/enthusiast.
Is there anyone that can advise me on this issue.
Kind regards
Hugo
