I just bought a replacement alternator for my newshape 2003 Bongo 2.5 diesel as per the Bongo Fury factsheet: 'alternator'. Hitachi part number LR190734.
But it's come with a single pulley rather than my original double pulley.
While I could just swap the pulley over, I worry that the alternator ...

I've found the workshop manual for the 2006 Ford Ranger diesel engine: https://cardiagn.com/2006-09-ranger-engine/ It uses the same accelerator position sensor as my 53 plate new-shape bongo, and the diesel engine looks very similar. Is it in fact the same engine? If so, the Ranger manual is in ...

Found it above the pedal: the 'syringe' thingy is just a switch - presumably to check you don't have your foot on the gas when you start the engine.
It looks similar to the old-shape throttle TPS3.jpg TPS2.jpg sensor, just re-located.
Does anyone have an electrical description for it? Which sensor ...

Thanks,
There is something on the throttle pedal - looks like a syringe. I thought it was just a kick-down switch but now you've got me thinking!

I've a newshape 53 plate diesel bongo.

I'm trying to locate the throttle position sensor, but it seems to be in a different place to the older models. Attached is a piccy of my driver's side engine bay, can someone spot the TPS sensor for me?
Confused!

10 miles from home (engine warm: always know when it's warm as the ignition light flashes, been doing this for 3 years with absolutely no engine problems). All was well until I had to stop at a roundabout.

Moving off, engine revved to 3000 before 1st engaged, and that set the tone for the rest of ...

When I dial-in the temperature I want the cabin at, anything from 31.5 degrees C or lower just produces cold air, whilst 32 degrees C produces a blast of very hot air.
Why's my heater system gone binary?

Hi,
I wired the camera into the numberplate light, as it was difficult to get a wire from the rear door to the reversing light.
I just switch on the sidelights for reversing.

My handbrake warning light stays on most of the time when I'm driving, though the handbrake is definitely off.
Does this signify anything?

I bought a second-hand new-shape Bongo.
It came with a keyfob which locks the doors and flashes the indicators, but does the Bongo come with a fitted alarm and/or immobiliser as standard?

Can anyone suggest a Garage in/near Scotland (Glasgow) that does know Bongos?

Thanks,

My garage (an auto-electronics outfit) have admitted defeat. They've had my newshape 2003 diesel Bongo in for three weeks, and have been round the forums.
The glow light is flashing an engine fault: the second EGR valve (the one with the 3-wire sensor, there are two apparently) doesn't appear to be ...

I notice that on your supplied diagram:
http://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/c ... 2of03.html.
that there's a sensor marked 'boost sensor'; is that what I'm looking for?

Thanks,

I've got a 2003 turbo-diesel Bongo with the variable vane valve on the end of the turbocharger.
I'm getting a flashing engine warning light: my garage have checked the vacuum into the variable vane valve and it's strong; no leakage in the vacuum system.

The garage have identified a solenoid valve ...

Many thanks, folks. How do we tell whether my turbo diesel bongo has this variable vane (VGT) or just a waste gate valve?
