What happened

This Amarok came in for our end of year 4WD service. The owner was also experiencing coolant loss.

So while carrying out the service we investigated, and diagnosed a faulty coolant control valve. We did not just service the vehicle and send it on its way.

We tell customers what we find and keep them informed, so the problem gets sorted before it turns into something bigger.
