[V8] Overheating problem - A tribute to Audi engineering and my own

[David Lyddall]

My V8 overheated about a week after I bought it in June '99.  The problem
persisted for about 3 months before had the radiator 'rodded', which solved
overheating (for a couple of years anyway).  It really needs a new radiator,
but I am a bit cheap and although it came close, it didn't boil over last
summer (or at least not after I replaced a faulty electric fan).

 

As for durability - it had 95k on it when the overheating was going on in
'99, and has 165k on it now, so in my experience you will probably get
lucky.
