overheating

[eelsman]

hi all, my CRD is getting quite hot the OBD2 reader is indicating that it is getting up to 109deg and Air intake temp is getting to 85deg.

I don't want to cook the engine any tips as to the problem??
anyone having similar issues or know of any concerns?

the car is running an ECU remap that is making 399nm at 2130 rpm & 146.8hp at 3,636 rpm on the dyno could this be doing it?

it is very reactive and climbs fast and drops just as fast whilst pulling a 1.9t caravan. it also can get quite hot when climbing a steep hill without towing, but as soon as you pull over it drops just as fast?


also Viscus fan starts turning as soon as the engine fires up is this normal?

This diesel engine is also fitted to the more popular JK so be sure to check their posts too.

the air intake temps will read high on the early 2.8 because of the locations of the sensor on the intake, just like the JK up until 2011. The intake/boost sensor suffers heat soak due to its location and will never read real intake temp. Expect 30-50degs above temp reads..

so if I get what you are saying if the OBD2 reader is reading 85deg it is actually probably only 55deg???
