Re: Should i replace all the hoses?

So I had all the hoses done, really pleased. I now think I’ve broken it!🤦🏼‍♂️ I was checking the coolant and left the cap off, when I realised the header tank seemed empty so topped up. Driving it today and it’s losing power up any incline and the mrs said she saw a puff of blue smoke from the exhau...

Re: Coolant alarm

I’ve just had the van back from the garage with ALL new coolant system pipes throughout, I’ve changed the header tank cap to a 1.1 (it was a 0.9) so fingers crossed all will be good. I am expecting to have change/clean the screw as it has new red coolant in the system. How long should I leave it bef...

Re: Coolant alarm

I think it is 0.9! What difference does this have?

Re: Coolant alarm

Ok thanks I’ll give it a clean although it is blue antifreeze in the system. Can use any screw to replace it?

Re: Coolant alarm

I had the system bled and refilled and it was still like this, but I’m in the middle of having all the pipes completely replaced so will see how it is after.👍thanks

Re: Should i replace all the hoses?

Ok thanks for that, not sure I’d get away with disconnecting the back heater, that’s the mother in laws seat!, although??🤔😂
I’m going to get it all done, looking forward to having a busy fun summer with it so just want piece of mind to get out and about trouble free. Thanks

Re: Coolant alarm

Sorry for not getting back sooner, I think it probably was over filled. But I found on longer journeys the level was dropping and setting off the alarm. I’ve currently got it in the garage and they are looking at changing all the coolant pipes as there is lots of ‘patches’ and old corroded pipe. The...

Re: Should i replace all the hoses?

I’ve just had my bongo in the garage for a good look over the coolant system as I’m a new owner and paranoid about over heating. I’ve been quoted £1000 for completely changing all the pipes on the system as there is a lot cut out pieces and original metal pipes that look corroded. When I first got i...

Re: Coolant alarm

Hi I am new here and have recently bought our first bongo (an old cheaply but all we could afford), we love it and have tidied it up and kitted it out how we want it. However from day 1 (1 month ago) I’ve been paranoid about the coolant system, first thing I did was fit a Hayden’s alarm. I’ve had th...
