how high does the temp rise?
Its normal for it to rise up hills as the engine is under a lot more load. I tow a caravan and when going up long hills the temp goes right up just below the red but then drops when at the top. when driving solo it just rises slightly.
Have you tried removing the front grill and blowing the radiators out with compressed air?
I`m a hgv mechanic on bin wagons and we have to do this all the time due to dust and small debris that gets stuck in the radiator matrix. If we dont do it as soon as the truck looks at a hill the temp gauge goes into the red.
Hope this helps
