Link to a correct ODB reader would be appreciated, by this OF, please.
I used the oil temp readout on my Yeti from cold to normal operating temperature most times that I drove it. Having coolant temp. on the Jimny would be good, IMO.

Another warning -if you don't have a temperature guage [strike]when[/strike] if the red light comes on it could be too late. The crappy VW polo TDI once owned had a red "overheat" light and no gauge. After several episodes of refusing to rev, eventually I discovered the cooling fan had never worked on the car. 2 years shutting down was the engine trying to protect itself, red light did not flash once. If it had been a gauge it would have been obvious. Get one of those ODB readers and get the temp out of the engine, best way to tell if it's not well.

In the car? or the caravan? I've never heard of it fitted to a car before, there is little point as the engine needs to lose a bit of heat anyway, and sticking a small water radiator in the air con for heat is cheap & standard practice.
The Gen4 doesn't use reverse cycle, there are rubber water pipes leading to the heater/air con unit behind the engine in the photos, I will confirm on SZ5 if & when I get mine.....(hopefully Saturday :woohoo: )
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I have a visitor staying at the moment with a big GM Colorado 4X4 + 18' Caravan, and with all the "mine vs yours" b-s flowing the Climate Control feature came up in conversation. His is, indeed, reverse cycle Air Con!
