In a gas car, when it runs hot I expect pinging. But what does a diesel engine do to indicate it's running too hot? Does it just go until it siezes?
Where I lost a bunch of coolant yesterday I'm curious. My coolant temp didn't rise badly (the sensor responded as expected, rising going up hills and declining when coasting, so I'm not worried about damage; I monitored via Torq so it was a "true" reading), but after a couple of miles it dawned on me that I wouldn't "know" by sound.
