Decided to try to use ‘t Kreng as much as possible to see if the water pump’s seal will finally “run in”. And as the weather forecast was rather nice for today I decided to use the car for my daily commute to work. And sure enough only a few kilometres from home the low coolant level light came on. Though it switched off within a kilometre or so, after which it came on every time I had to stop at traffic lights. Switching of when I pulled away from the traffic light. As the temperature gauge behaved normally I decided to enjoy the run to the office. And it was rather enjoyable, certainly helped by the glorious weather and autumn colours. And because it is the autumn holidays, there was enough space on the parking lot.
The plan was to take the long way home after work. Sadly a project meeting scheduled for the afternoon lasted considerably longer than expected! As a result of which the journey home was limited to a 45 minute blast over some local country lanes. It again was rather enjoyable, and this time the coolant level light didn’t come on at all. Instead the temperature gauge rose to the halfway mark where it remained for the entire trip. I have a gut feeling that this subject will be continued here in the near future!
