Re: Another Coolant Alarm Issue
If you are changing the screws after all this time you have a problem in the cooling system.....are you using red long life coolant.? Something is not right, either with my Bongo or the alarm.

Re: Another Coolant Alarm Issue
Yes it is the Red coolant. What sort of problems with the cooling system would you suggest then?

Yes it is. I bought it shortly after buying the Bongo.Simon Jones wrote:Not one of Haydn's alarms by the sound of it.
Non stop low coolant alerts, requiring screws being replaced on a monthly basis, now this.
Have to say I may be in a minority, but I've found it a non stop source of hassle.

Re: Another Coolant Alarm Issue
If you have set the temp alarm a couple of degrees above your normal running temp, when you stop the engine the heat builds up and may add as much as 10 degrees, if you then restart within about 10/15 mins the temp will still be high and set off the alarm, it will very quickly cool down as the cool...

Another Coolant Alarm Issue
My coolant/temp alarm has started behaving weirdly.
If I stop for a while, then restart the van, the temp alarm sounds for at most a second before dropping back to a normal temp reading.....

Re: Stalling Bongo 2.5td - Ideas please
The Bongo has stopped stalling. However, occasionally it drops to around 600rpm at tickover & still a little recalcitrant when stating after being stood. There was a small pool of diesel on the drive where the Bongo parks so I did some searching for the source as it was towards the rear of the u...

Decided to replace the pump, all other alleys are exhausted now, got a refurbished unit from George at Bongospares as I wanted the reassurance nothing else is amiss.
