My Kodiaq TDI has been driven for 147,000 kilometers. It was precocious serviced astatine 146,000 kilometers. However, successful the past week, we person faced motor overheating problems doubly retired of 3 trips

First, during a 120-kilometer travel to Jaipur successful the morning, the lipid somesthesia abruptly accrued portion we were successful the city. We opened the bonnet and waited for astir 15-30 minutes for the motor to chill down. About 100 kilometers of this travel was connected the highway, and the remaining 20 kilometers were successful the city. On our instrumentality travel of 100 kilometers astatine nighttime and astir 50 kilometers successful the metropolis during the day, we did not brushwood immoderate issues.

A fewer days later, we took a 300-kilometer circular travel from our location to Delhi, driving non-stop during the day. We did not look immoderate overheating problems. Approximately 250 kilometers of this travel were connected the highway, with the remaining 50 kilometers successful the city.

Two days aft that, we traveled to Delhi again. We near successful the greeting and covered astir 200 kilometers, driving astatine 120 km/h for 15-20 minutes. No problems occurred until we started heading back. The car overheated again, and we had to halt to fto the motor cool. This time, we waited astir 45 minutes. This incidental occurred during the night.

The coolant level is not the issue; it is filled to the required level. The radiator instrumentality is besides working, and determination are nary leaks. The work halfway is yet to cheque the car, but implicit a telephone telephone suggested that the radiator whitethorn request to beryllium replaced.

Is it communal for a radiator to request replacement wrong six years oregon 150,000 kilometers? Could determination beryllium different crushed for this issue? I would similar to recognize the details and technicalities down this problem. Any insights would beryllium greatly appreciated. I did cheque the thread "What to bash if your Engine Overheats connected the road" thread, but privation to cognize if determination tin beryllium much to this contented since it is precise random.
