Re: Many issues or just one?

Thanks Windy, really appreciate the response. Her is an update from the dealer, "I have had the turbo checked by 3 mechanics they seem to think turbo is fine . Their opinion is that it is an electrical fault boosting too much power to the turbo . Had diagnostic done indicating some more sensors...

Re: Many issues or just one?

The result is a much smoother drive, the hunting issue has disappeared, as has the noisy and abrupt gear change, so good news! =D> The 2k-4k noise is still there though. :? Accelerating gently around to...

Re: Many issues or just one?

Thanks for the info. Have something of an update. The dealer who I bought it off was kind enough to come down tonight and take it for a drive. The rough gear changes did not manifest themselves, but he noise did. Driving around with the passenger seat up revealed exhaust gas being expelled from arou...

Many issues or just one?

Hi All, Our Bongo has just come back from the garage, following the flashing glow plug light problem. Its a 2002 diesel 4x4 fly by wire, and turned out to be the speedo chip.

Re: Wastegate Actuator Stuck Open

As if by coincidence, that's exactly the same fault as mine, 2002 diesel.

Currently at 321, same issue only egr has not been blanked, been there three weeks now and they seem stumped!

No codes either according to them. Interesting to hear the outcome from this owners problem.

Cheers,

Illuminating Question?

Our 2002 Aero has a broken lens on the front passenger fog light, Mazda part number is 51-6A0. They seem to be available in the US or Russia for a hideous amount of money, however the Mazda Tribute seems to have an almost identical unit (looking at the images from the parts manual), but the part num...
