Cheap and good don’t really go together.

Doesn’t really matter where you fit it….not near the exhaust or in the air floe…the back of the cylinder head is ba good spot…..fit it, drive around for a couple of days and note the “normal” reading on the gauge and the highest temp achieved….set the alarm a couple of degrees higher than the ...

When you have sorted out the issues, consider fitting am Low Coolant Alarm….Haydn Alarms. Have a Bongo specific alarm developed years ago with the help of this web site/ club.

When you have got to the bottom with the issues and had them fixed, do consider fitting a low Coolant Alarm….”Haydn Alarms” have a Bongo specific alarm which was developed many years ago with the help of this web site.

Hi, suggest you fit a Low coolant Alarm…..google Haydn Alarms and see what we have…the low Coolant one developed many years ago with the help of this forum….the alarms have saved many a engine over the years…phone the number on the website and ask for ‘Dads Discount’

Agree with the above….remove stat to test in hot water

Good to hear from you Mike, like you I don’t spend so much time on BF as I used to but I do keep nipping in/out. I remember way back when you were the first Guinea Pig to fit one of our newly developed Low Coolant alarms. Daughter Jo is now running the shop and doing plenty of business with all ...

Good to hear the alarms are still doing the job…..if anyone wants one of ours which were developed with the help of this forum. Don’t order via the web shop (HAYDN ALARMS) phone Jo Jo on the number on the web site and ask for (Dads Discount) please browse the shop for all sorts of temperature ...

If all is well and you should run with temps between 82 and 92C …….up big hills or towing loads then up to 100C

If the coolant alarm fitted to your bongo is one of ours, if you refill with red OAT antifreeze it may give you false alarms for a while as red coolant coats the inside of the engine (when new) and so coats the alarm screw in the header tank. If the coolant is blue I would suggest staying with blue ...

Thanks for that

Hi, got a friend who is having problems changing into 4th when warn….getting message… 2002 V6. Got the code, it won't go into top when it's warm - P0743 TCC solenoid
Any advice welcome

Had this same problem….eventually turned out to be the plug leads where they cover the plugs shorting out to the cylinder head…it gets a bit oily/dirty n there….examiners very carefully for tracking marks…… don’t get cheap replacements.

I know a bloke who would polish that scratch out for £50

The rocker cover gasket could well not be required…..oil around the drivers side front of engine is normally caused by the egr……it’s there on most diesels.
