Peter, what do you mean by yours "failed this test"? Did it trigger CEL? Blow up? Or was there some before and after pressure readings too high?

If there is a flow chart they go by during the procedure, does that mean they should be documenting results?2010 PB Challenger. Kings KCRR23 and 55H, sliders, front bar, warn winch, light force HID, 90L aux tank donated from NH Paj.

Not sure if anyone knows the mechanics of it...
however both times the gauge has gone up of recent i have had the heater (and air con) on full. Not sure if this is related (first time i had the problem it was a faulty gauge as it jumped up, but this is different now).
If i go up a hill or give it, and then stop. The gauge will just start rising....

I know off topic but that battery looks a bit worse for wear ... over filled ? look's like acid spill on the filling point ? ...

Judging by the condition of the cap label, it hasn't been there long.

* Actually, closer look and I think you're right on the center vent plugs. Looks like overfill.Last edited by whereswes; 14-06-18, 12:32 PM.2014 Auto PC Challenger, TJM Bar with Centre/Side LED Bars & 12,000lb Winch, Uniden UHF, ARB Rack with single row LED Bar & Awning, Safari Snorkel, Boos Bash Plates, 265-75R16 BFG KM2s, 100AH AGM Battery and Redarc DC-DC to power Waeco, Custom rear interior, HR Towbar, Combo suspension (Lovells front/ARB rear), Brown Davis LR tank, Diff Breathers, 2 1/2" S/S cat back, ScangaugeII, Munji EGR controller, Bushskinz side steps, DPChip, LM8,

Picked my car back up yesterday - service guys had it for 2 days.
They found the radiator coolant temperature sensor had corroded, thus giving the wrong temperature which was causing the overheating problems...
So far so good, and hopefully that is that .
Thanks to all for advice and support!

So this was a faulty coolant temperature sender unit giving an over temperature indication not only to the dash gauge but also the Engine ECU which will make the engine go into limp mode.
Not the first time I have heard of this happening, hence my question in Post #5.
Glad it is all sorted.

the temp gauge one won't cause the engine to go into limp mode

Well I learnt something tonight, took me a while to confirm there are 2 engine coolant sensors. 1 for the dash guage and 1 for the Engine ECU fuel control, they are located next to each other on the passenger side of the engine towards to front and top.
