Hi
Bongo going in for service next week, to a local garage that has never seen one before (good/bad idea ?)
They say they can do it.
My question is how often should the coolant be changed? It was done two years ago.
Many thanks
Travis

Re: Coolant change
2 years for normal ethylene glycol blue type stuff, up to 5 years I think for the OAT red stuff. Make sure the garage bleed it properly if they've never seen one before, could be an expensive gamble if they don't.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
