Hi, I am having trouble with my 1988 1600 diesel turbo T25, from first start up, the heating will get hot and stay hot for a 6-8 miles, then will go freezing cold and stay cold.

we have bled the radiator, and it hasn't made any difference.

does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Almost certainly not been bled fully.
I suggest doing it again Details in our wiki HERE and much more info HERE
Is the left hand tank in the engine bay full to the brim ? If not it should be (in case you didn't already know that )
Does the temp gauge stay where it should once warmed up (ie in the middle, give or take a bit)

p.s. You should get this sorted as our engines, both petrol and Diesel don't take kindly to any airlocks (can result in a cracked head )

thanks for the quick response, i shall see how i get on.

thanks
