Coolant system query

Post by egor617 » Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:20 am

Having got the rust sorted on my bongo next thing to tackle is the whole cooling system.
As it's all original stuff i'm thinking of new radiator, water pump, thermostat, rubber pipes (is it the top and bottom one coming out of radiator that go first?) is there anything else i should add to the list?

top main by engine and one over starter motor seem to fail first...though any inc the steel pipes can go

Fit one of Haydns coolant alarms when you redo it all for peace of mind, very easy to fit and not too expensive.

and have a good look at what may be involved to bleed the cooling system once you have replaced the parts.
