V6 : Changing the radiator

[timhum]

Hi Gang,
It's been a while since I last posted.

Just changed the radiator on the V6 Bongo. I came across a couple of things that could be added to the factsheet regarding the V6.

Removing the "airducting under the radiator" There are 5 bolts, all reached from underneath.

There is a bleed tube just the same as the diesel engined Bongo but mine was tucked along the engine running from front to back on the passenger side, in my case cunningly hidden amongst the LPG gubbins.

I put ramps under the front wheels and was careful to avoid loosing much coolant from the engine and am fairly sure I did not introduce any air into the engine by doing this because when the bleeding process was going on I was unaware of any burping but when the engine warmed up at 2500 rpm, a constant stream of coolant came out. I topped up the reservoir and continued the process, hopefully successfully!

That is all I can add to Harry's excellent factsheet. Thanks mate you made it sound easy and saved me a few quid.
Cheers,

Tim

That's a useful addition to the factsheet, thanks Tim.
