I don't really know the previous owner removed it .. I think that was a patent for overheating problems but not a permanent fix

So my mechanic fix the antifreeze plug but yet the sucking problem is not fixed .. I am really worried that i have a blown head gasket and thats why all the coolant is not sucked back from the overflow tank .. my temperatures in the city are pretty good no overheating but when in highway for long trips the temperatures are good from the air cooling the engine but temperatures s starting to rise when arriving at city with lower speeds and stops at traffic lights ..Does anyone know how much head gasket change costs ? I am really worried that would cost me a fortune

When I had one done locally it was approximately 600 quid but I was having other work done so it could probably be done for a little less.

Hi. I have a 2009 Jimny (VVT) with a very similar overheating problem. Temperatures are fine on a long journey, but when I get to a town and drive slower, or even just idle the car, the temperature shoots up into the red. Removed the thermostat and replaced the radiator cap, but it's still happening on long journeys. Thinking it might be viscous fan problem as it only happens at low speeds after engine is hot. But wondering what else it could be?

Did you get your overheating issue fixed? And how?
