...disaster, that is!
While changing out the glow plugs and harness (its been several years for both) I saw the telltale signs of a coolant leak behind the vacuum pump. There's a two-inch bit of hose back there and mine looked like this after it was removed:
Here is the new piece of hose installed. Note the remaining pink residue, it looked a lot worse before the hose was replaced.
Go check it now, before it leaves you stranded!
