Re: Head gasket gone

I've had bongo at Wheelquick. They have found the distributor loose and likely cause of cutting out.
They have not done any diagnostic checks on head gasket because bongo is running fine.
Oh, and water was completely empty when the bongo was picked up from my local garage !!
I didn't know that ...

Re: Head gasket gone

I will keep you posted with outcome. It's likely that they won't start anything till January

Re: Head gasket gone

Haven't had it long enough to get the bongo bug. Only had 2 trips in it so far. I'm taking it to a specialist for their opinion so fingers crossed 🤞

Re: Head gasket gone

Thanks Bob for swift reply. I'm in Southport. It's a non conversion with a little rust on arches etc.
Bought it in good faith in the summer for £3300 !!!
Was told no problems with it..
Cheers

Head gasket gone

Hi,
I recently bought a V6 petrol bongo. After 400 miles it started cutting out and not restarting. Local garage have confirmed a blown head gasket and are quoting £650 to have it pressure tested and skimmed. A lot of money if it doesn't solve the issue.
What are my best options here
Many thanks
Phill
