Hi Simon, thanks for directing me to the correct lead. I will try disconnecting it later and see what happens.

I took this picture to help with clarifying which wire......

Is it cable A or the pretty new looking cable B that I unplug to get rid of the "Heat" light off the dash?



Thanks,

Ian

Hi guys, sorry to bump up an old topic but I had the same problem with an oil leak and now my Heat light is stuck on. The MOT is due soon so I would like to disconnect the sensor that is responsible for the indicator light however when I look underneath, I see two possible culprits. One closer to th...

Simon once again thanks for your help. I am planning to take it to my local garage tomorrow for them to assess. I would like to get the thermostat changed no matter what. Its the ideal opportunity. I just don't have time to attempt the thermostat myself with work and family commitments along with th...

Hi Simon,

Many thanks for the reply. I will have another go at filling it, maybe just with water again to practice/allow me to get to a garage.

I am wondering now if there is a problem with the Thermostat due to the boiling issue?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi, I left the lid off as that seemed to be what the instructions said for refilling and bleeding the system and as far as I could tell from the Youtube video was going on but its not that clear to me at what point the lid gets put back on - I thought it was after the thermostat had let the coolant ...

Hi guys, Now its the weekend and I have had some daylight I have filled up the coolant system just with water to try to find the leak and give the system a wash out at the same time. I followed the instructions off the site and I think I am right being able to leave the lid off the expansion tank wh...

Many thanks for the replies. Hopefully there has been no lasting damage caused already - how do I tell if there has though? Will there be gunk in the oil on the dipstick? Anyway, my current thoughts are to refill the system with fresh water (the weather is milder now too) and run the engine on the d...

Hi all, I have just had an eventful return trip from a night away in my V6 petrol. 10 miles from home I filled up with fuel, noticed a bit of steam and thought I could smell coolant. 5 miles later I was watching the temperature guage fluctuate up and down and then go too high for comfort so I pulled...

Hi, yes i have heard of them. I was hoping for something closer but maybe thats the best bet.

Cheers.

Hi guys,

I have taken a look at the Bongo friendly garage database and there is nothing listed for Cheshire. Can anyone recommend a Bongo friendly mechanic for my V6 Petrol that is not too far?

Cheers,

I had this issue a while ago but I can't remember what the answer was, it's something to do with how you log into the forum. Mine is fine now & can be bookmarked. I had suffered with this for months but thanks I am sorted now thanks to the link to the discussion thread you provided. Previously ...

Thats a great thread and thanks for the link to it. I think i have read that before as i do make good use of the search facility to see if i can find answers before raising a new topic but it may have been a couple of weeks ago. Ideally i would like to make a series of bookmarks of useful posts for ...

Mine (1996 V6 2.5 Petrol) says the transmission is a 4EC-AT according to a sticker on the passenger door jam. I guess it will be safer for me to buy some more which is a bit of a pain as I have just paid for one lot of shipping.

On my vehicle information sticker in the passenger door, it says the engine is a CE06024 and the VIN begins SG5Wxxxxx I guess this means I am ok.
