Switch to "auto" and set the temp for you. Normally 20-21.

Let it run like this for a week and tell us what the temp gauge does.

Oh, and as a test, with auto on, turn the gauge down to "Lo". It should freeze your ****s off!  

OK, I will, and yes aircon is a ballcock chiller on LO, especially when I wear my mini skirt

Watch this space,,,

Temp looks normal to me with climate set to cold.

Yeah!  Good point, climate on that piccy is set to LO but A/C is OFF... this is after a good run on a day with ambient temp of 13.5 deg C...

It had used to run cooler, I think!!!

Another point, just wondering if the auto box fluid is causing the overheating when towing... changing it very soon anyway....

Still any suggestions, coments.  Greatly appreciated..

if your concerened about towing and overheating fit a seperate oil cooler very easy to do

Agreed an extra cooler wouldn't go amiss, got one sitting in my shed doing nowt!  My concern is that, it's not happened before, have towed the same van and set up for several years....  I'm seriously wondering if it's a gearbox fluid issue...  We'll soon see, going to replenish it soon...

Thanx for all your replies though....  Any other thoughts, most welcome..

Ive been watching my gauge since reading your post and it fluctuates between 85 and 90 on the gauge.  Did read in the owners handbook that temps reaching 100 occasionally were normal, but your red light on dash scenario not ideal tho...

Admitted, it's only when towing, NEVER at any other time, did the cambelt and a new water pump last weekend too, flushed it all through...  Shall have to take the van for a drag....  AFTER DARK  !!!  OK BOYS !!!!!
