My156 , has started to overheat when ever I drive up a steep hill. It usually reverts to 90*, within a few minutes b ut on 2 occasions it remained at danger with the coolant boiling hot.

The fan is com ing in when tested and the water coolant level is correct.

Just a b it concerned. !!

Could it be a dreaded airlock ?????

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON, THE RAD FINS ARE MISSING DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.

The temperature is spot on 90* when driving on normal road slope but on the hills it rises to danger level, could be a blockage in the Rad. Seams quite easy to get at ?? How much to replace it ?????
