Took the cap off this weekend and measured it, ordered spare nitrile ring from sourcing map and have refitted it all. Will see how the damp mornings go and if all good then case closed.

Cheers for advice.

P.S Started looking at some other things whilst all tools were out and finally managed to ...

Cheers for the replies, I'll see if another ring fits and if not the dried silicone is good suggestion, hadn't thought of waiting for it to set first.

I've narrowed a starting problem (thanks to this forum) on my 2.5V6 in damp weather down to a missing O ring in the distributor cap which I understand is part JE2618V57.

Anyone recommend anywhere to purchase this item in the UK ? The net doesn't throw much up other than some Russian site.

Thanks ...

Hello all,
I replaced the radiator in my 2.5 v6 Bongo today which was relatively straightforward up to the point where the infamous bleeding stage started. I could not find a funnel to fit so referred to this forum and this post involving the jug setup. I went back to the garage and found what I ...

Ok Simon that's useful to know about the rotor arm. I haven't thrown anything away so I will take another look. The replacement rotor arm I fitted was from George at Bongo Spares and that I noticed had a white covering on the tip which I left alone ;-)

There were some metal chards in the old Diz ...

Looked at this matter again over the weekend.

I removed the throttle position sensor and measured the resistance sweep between pins 1 and 2 and also 4 and 2 and it was smooth so took the advice and started to look elsewhere.

I had new leads, Diz cap and rotor arm on order anyway so changed these ...

Thanks both for the advice, I will be taking another look over the weekend, let's see what I find.

Any thoughts on the TPS sweep of 0.622v to 3.79v and the buzzing sound ?

Thanks,

Had another look this evening and I also notice a 'buzzing' sound when slightly opening the throttle which then fades away when further opening the throttle.

Can be heard easily with just ignition on; if I disconnect the TPS connector then noise is completely gone.

Any thoughts ?

Hello Forum folk,

I am hoping you can help me with diagnosing a problem on my 1998 2.5 V6 Auto petrol Bongo. My Bongo is behaving a little sluggish and the revs varying, they drop even lower when reversing. Also it seems that the problems only really start happening when the vehicle has been ...
