Hi all,

I need to replace the thermostat in my Bongo, but can't find a factsheet for it. i was just wondering if there's a guide anywhere on how to do it?

Cheers

Thanks Kirsty. Very useful.

Having never replaced a thermostat before, could someone give me an idea as to how long it would take? I've messed around with the coolant before replacing a radiator, so have an idea how long that side of things takes. It sounds like the thermostat is easy to locate, and relatively easy to extract on a 4wd with the right tools, which I have.

Just to replace the stat, 20 minutes? , depends if you take the opportunity to give it a thorough flush (with some holts 2 part flush or similar) with the stat out (easier bleeding & flushing - just don't forget to put it back in before refilling with the correct coolant ), if you do, just use the old rubber gasket in place to seal the joint.

Thanks, sounds like a job for the weekend!

I'd offer assistance, but I'll be in Pewsey this weekend - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 35&t=33654
