Hi! I have a big problem with my 2011 Galaxy 2.0 tdci (163 hp).
When its over 23-24 C degrees outside the problem kicks in, especially if I drive hard or with a heavy load. I can drive for maybe 30 minutes before the motor gets really hot. First I feel the heat on my legs while driving and minutes later the gearbox (auto) starts jumping and forcing a slow down. If I dont stop I get the message:
"Limited transmission function".
If I stop and starts the car the message is gone but since the car is still hot it will soon return. If I let the car cool it will all disapear untill it gets hot again. It doesnt leave anything they can find with a commputer. If its colder I can drive for hours with no problem.
The engine-room is so hot it burns toucing any parts, but it doesnt read hot on the dashboard-thermometer.
What have I done?
- The cooling fan is working (but its not going as fast as it should when the car is so hot)
- Theres no visible leak
- Full service on engine and gearbox
- Full troubleshooting by 2 differnt mecanics
- Bought a temp. sensor for the cooling liquid (but havent had the time to change it)
So, what might this be?
