I dont want to pull up Haydn on a post as hes a very knowledgable chap,but I think I should point out his, [or any other low coolant alarm} ,WONT PREVENT OVERHEATING,but it will warn you of loss of coolant that COULD result in overheating.haydn callow wrote:Because of the age of the Bongos, the coolant hoses (and because the engine is in the middle there are a lot of them(about 30)) are coming to the end of their lives.....if a hose decides to give way the coolant is lost and the engine will overheat.
Fitting a alarm will, in most cases prevent this overheating. The 2lt does not seem so prone to this but never the less it is a good idea to fit one.
And its correct,the 2 ltr petrol doesnt suffer the sale overheating problems,and is self bleeding
