Whitch is best coolant level gauge ?
Advice please found 2 coolant level gauges for Bongo HAYDN at £81.50 including Standard Postage
and AUTO JAP SPARES at £75.00 including fast postage -
Which should I go for ?
Or are they both the same thing ?

Haydn has sold thousands of his so for piece of mind I would only fit his, his also has a built in self test to you are certain its working every time you start the engine.
I have one and a low coolant alarm and wouldnt drive a Bongo with out them

Thanks winchman for your expert advice. - I am a keen believer in if it ant broke don't fix it, but feel in this case I would kick myself if I cooked my engine so I have now bit the bullet and ordered a Haydn unit. - Will give me peace of mind.though.- Hope it's easy to fit.

Very easy, just read the instructions, ask on here then fit it once you have a good idea what you are doingmellon man wrote:Thanks winchman for your expert advice. - I am a keen believer in if it ant broke don't fix it, but feel in this case I would kick myself if I cooked my engine so I have now bit the bullet and ordered a Haydn unit. - Will give me peace of mind.though.- Hope it's easy to fit.

Re: Whitch is best coolant level gauge ?
I was thinking of the motor sport version - used in motor sport cars to indicate coolant is present in the top hose - has anyone tried this one?

I have Haydns mark 3 (I think) lol, the one with the cig socket, simply awesome and so easy to fit as well.
Re: Whitch is best coolant level gauge ?
I am sure some one with more experience will correct me if I a wrong but I feel if you had no coolant in the top hose it would be too late and the head will be damaged?hijimhere wrote:I was thinking of the motor sport version - used in motor sport cars to indicate coolant is present in the top hose - has anyone tried this one?
Re: Whitch is best coolant level gauge ?
If the results are as you say severe damaged engines I very much doubt that the motor sport community would be prepared to invest in a device that shuts the gate after the horse has bolted lol
