How i fixed my overheating problem after 2 YEARS - Not what we expected

Hello everyone, in todays video Nath discusses all the trials and tribulation’s of our Mitsubishi L200´s overheating issue.
Here are the Links to some of the parts, read on for more info :) .

An alternator creating false readings on a temperature gauge would involve electrical interference. The alternator generates electrical power for the vehicle's electrical systems, including the temperature gauge. If there's a problem with the alternator, such as a faulty diode or voltage regulator, it can cause fluctuations in the electrical system. These fluctuations may manifest as erroneous signals sent to the temperature gauge, resulting in false readings.
Electrical interference can disrupt the proper functioning of sensors and gauges in a vehicle. In the case of a temperature gauge, it may cause the gauge to display higher or lower temperatures than the actual engine temperature. This can be problematic as incorrect temperature readings may lead to improper engine management and potentially damage the engine if it overheats or doesn't warm up sufficiently.
To address this issue, it's important to diagnose and repair any faults in the alternator or its associated components. This may involve testing the alternator's output voltage and inspecting its connections. Additionally, ensuring proper grounding and shielding of electrical components can help mitigate interference and prevent false readings on the temperature gauge.
At Drivenmad, we repair, maintain and upgrade vehicles in our workshop, here in the sunny Algarve, Portugal.
Most things are our first go ! so remember, experts we are not ! so watch us do it wrong, so you don't have too :)
Having hundreds of kilometres of dirt roads, dirt tracks and various hills with ruts on our doorstep, we venture out and test our 4x4’s to the limit (our limit, not theirs  )
When we can get one, we will slip in a vehicle review, along with some product testing - who does not want to know which tyre stops the best ?
So subscribe and join our journey as we modify, test and improve our cars in as many ways as possible.

It only looks like it’s overheating, it’s because the gauges are calibrated to work on 12v but your regulator is blown so the baseline voltage of the gauges is now higher that 12v, so the needle moves higher by that amount.

[@valterfurtado2253]

pls do the instalation of the temperature gage

[@DrivenMadShow]

Will do! Stay tuned 🔥 done :). @valterfutado2253 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp26aox5f5yJl9k

Can you send a link for the radiator?

This vid didn't solve my overheating problem. No Jono last week so in preparation for an appearance of the next James Bond this week, I treated myself to a tub of goose fat and aloe vera tissues, but alas no. My warming man pods will have to stay full and hope Jono appears next week.

[@DrivenMadShow]

Oh no, sorry for the tease. It’s Nathan here replying for dad since he has a sore wrist. I think you can get the idea since it’s his right. I’ll make sure he makes an appearance in the next video.

Have this overheating issue with my l200 sportero 4m41 engine only happens when going uphill changed the water pump, thermostat and done a coolant flush but the problem still persists i have no idea at this point what the problem might be there are no bubbles or air leaking out into the overflow bottle which has me thinking that it isnt actually overheating but im stumped think I'll have to get one of those gauges a go and see if that tells me a bit more great video thanks for the info

[@DrivenMadShow]

Sounds like you’re in exactly the same position I was! The gauge was a great install as it gave me a clear reading of the exact temperature. Definitely worth it as the original gauge is not good. Thanks for the comment. Let us know how it goes! 👍

Check your viscous fan clutch, if you still have a belt driven fan. They do die at some point.

[@EmmanuelSammy]

@@steveveness3829 is there a way to test if its on the way out ? I just spin it and it feels stiff so i assumed it's good but that might be the issue as someone else mentioned that to me just today as well

[@steveveness3829]

@@EmmanuelSammy after 43yrs trade life I kinda have a feel for how much resistance there sould be spinning it forward and backwards. Along with the sound they make when engine is running, the noise level changes when the bimetal strip expands inside. The fan becomes louder. If the sound doesn't change with engine temperature then replace it, especially if it's origine to the date of manufacture. In Australia we can spent almost 200 dollars for Dayco replacements. Cheaper than blowing up a 4m40 by far.😉

[@EmmanuelSammy]

@@steveveness3829 thanks a lot for the knowledge much appreciated will try changing it and let you guys know if it helps thanks again

Hi At 3:21 u show us the temp gauge of murduc , telling you it's exactly how was my gauge showed on my stalen truck , I mean it's more than fine coolant temp u can get in any vehicle , it shows that it's under middle I guess so it's very good temp , & i get this temp without replacinging any of what u said u replace , I only blocked that gap between the radiator and the radiator frame using a fome hose that used at the home ac , I send u some photos on your mail go recheck it . And it's will be great if u show us the installation of that temp gauge.

[@DrivenMadShow]

Thanks Khangar! That’s some great advice. I’ll be sure to fill the radiator gap and do a walk round/ explanation of the gauge install. 👍
