ive got a 1995 525tds 227919 miles yes thats right.The problem has just started i fitted new engine mount and fan belt and 5 days later on the motorway temp went from half to nearly red then back down to half i changed the thermostat day after it seemed fine but the electric fan keeps kicking in now and then 1 week later temp goes up again to red the car lost power so i pulled up checked under bonnet all ok ,started car back up temp back down to half fan on but drove home fine,Il just add that the engine its self does not appear hot to touch inlet manifold is cool but pipes around heater box at back of engine are very hot been told it could be something to do with electrics where the water pipes run through to get the engine hot faster as it only takes 0.7 of a mile to up to running temp the oil is fine and water is fine i can take expansion cap off when temp in red and nothing boils out and not alot of pressure there to say its in the red
