There wasn't a air leak, they changed the coil (i think that the name, its the part where comes the cable to the dizzy) and it was ok... Before they changed the ignition amp but no result from that so they put back the old one.
The plugs they fitted are Bosch Super Plus (plus YTTRIUM) - FGR7DQE+.
Well the car now revs much better than ever before (at least since i've bought the car), got to go for a "fun" drive to check if it accels better too.
Does the radiator fan work properly?
If it does, next step is checking the thermostat, easy work.
Was there anything done with the cooling system when you had it at the mechanics? If so, you might got air in the system. Try bleeding it.
The hose that goes in to the radiator is hot so the thermostat should be ok.
Now the hose that goes from the radiator to the engine, that one is too cold... So it might be so cold that the fan switch is too cold to start the fans when the temperature at the thermostat is ok to start it...
I've talked to the mechanic and he told me that the radiator should be obstructed so it needs to be cleaned...
I'll have to have the heater on so i can use the car, so the car looks like a sauna... lol
It is dificult to remove the radiator? Do i need to take the fans off so i can take the radiator off?
The number rises the cooler th eplug runs at so a 7 runs cooler than a 6.
In practise you can usually see the difference in the heat rating by looking at the clearance between the centre electrode insulation and the body of the plug - the bigger the gap the better the cooling.
Does sound like you need to clean and flush/bleed the sooling system Mortymer, worth fitting a diesel fan switch as well if you haven't already.

Well the radiator was cleaned this week, the thermostat changed and of course the system flushed, but the problem still continues... There is a little change on the temperature, but still gets higher than before...
And the other day, i've gone up to 5500 rpm's in 4th and after 1 minute, the car was working very bad, when i accelerated it didn't go upper than 2000 and was misfiring...
I've turn the engine off waited some time, and then the car was ok again...
Now the engine is "failing" below 2000rpms most of the time... runs rough below 2000 rpms most of the time.
When they changed the spark plugs on the car, they have adjusted the CO level on the car, it was on 1.5 and they adjusted it to 0.90... Could that be causing the temperature problems? Is it worth it to go there and get the CO level to 1.50 again?
