We've all experienced it – that heart-stopping moment when your Isuzu D-Max 2019 TF 3.0L Turbo Diesel starts overheating on a scorching day, especially when you're towing a heavy trailer.

When the Heat Becomes Overwhelming

This was precisely the predicament one of our customers found themselves in, and it's a clear reminder of how regular servicing can be your ticket to a trouble-free journey.

Diagnosing the Heat Wave

At Abbotts Auto Care, we're all about uncovering the causes of car troubles. To tackle this overheating issue, we followed a systematic approach.

We began by checking the coolant level and pressure testing the radiator cap. We proceeded to pressure test the entire cooling system, and guess what? No pressure loss. We also ruled out head gasket problems by examining for exhaust gas hydrocarbons in the coolant – everything was clear.

But what was the culprit behind the engine's overheating episode? It led us to the radiator.

Cooling the Hot Tempest

Upon removing the radiator and inspecting its core, we discovered that most cooling tubes were partly blocked with scale, limiting the flow of coolant. The restricted flow was causing the engine to overheat.

The solution was clear: we replaced the radiator and the coolant. After a test run to ensure the thermostat was fully open, we checked the operating temperature of the coolant in and out of the radiator – it was just right.

The Power of Regular Servicing

This story underscores the importance of regular servicing. It's not about being pushy; it's about persuading you that servicing can save you from unexpected overheating issues like this one. In this case, it spared our customer from a sweltering breakdown on a hot day.
