New holland 8360 temperature problems

[Colly85]

Hello. I have a new holland 8360.temprature guage is running between 6 and 9 bars.. this is just driving with nothing on.. and same when pulling a load..Engine doesn’t seem to be boiling.. i got radiator checked. Changed thermostats.. an replaced water pump/belt...But still the same.... 11.000 on it.. head and valves done at 10.000 hours.. before I owned it.. any ideas would be great.. thanks in advance

Wouldnt worry too much I had one showing low oil pressure and beeping all the time, new sensor on it and it has very good oil pressure now, stupid sensor was £180 but have good peace of mind now

Could it be the viscous fan not coupling up right? Some people are known to bolt them up solid to aid cooling but they do then drone like a Pratt and Whitney..

 

[Colly85]

The mechanic that was doing the work says that its a direct fan and not a viscous..!

Another thing is when you give her a good driving and when stopped if you feel in through wer fan is till radiator its warm at the bottom an freezing in the middle then very slightly warm at top.. should it not be warm all over.. ??

Expantion bottle also rises to the very top when going.. but not pressuring

Get a new correct radiator cap (spring goes weak / won't hold correct pressure / leaks)

This might sound stupid but, i was involved with one that showed same problem, in the end brand new engine was fitted, i was driving it when problem showed up again, overheating, it was traced to a corroded or broken earth from rear of cab i think on right side, cab to axle so worth checking, why this caused temp gauge only to show overheating i have no idea, an expensive lesson...before anyone start's commenting remember, we trust what gauges are showing.

Was the guage showing full all the time or was it goin up and down

 

[essexpete]

Another question: Does the gauge just register on start up then rise? Or does it register higher than expected on start up?

 

[Colly85]

Its normal on start up.. but then when you get going it starts rising.. goes up to 7/9 bars.. up and down between that

Suspect the water pump not circulating properly or radiator has a blockage, simple thing first, ... flush Radiator especially if it isnt antifreeze colour

Get a temperature gun and check the top and bottom hose to see what the temperature really is.

Radiator was out and tested last week..

Then I think you have a circulation problem, does the heater get hot?... swapped the thermostat?

 

[forblue]

Same as your's, dead easy to check cab earth.

Heater warms up... and thermostats changed too

 

[Colly85]

i must get that checked out

 

[Zetor]

Buy and temporarily fit a universal temperature gauge off eBay then you’ll get a second opinion on how hot the coolant actually is before you go and spend £££on it!

 

[Colly85]

This is the guage and only driving up road.. and nothing on

looks normal?

 

[Mur Huwcun]

Looks normal to me aswell, later TMs you notice the bars drop when the electromagnetic clutch in the viscous fan comes on. Does that display stick on for you or do you have to toggle to it?
