Re: KH-SGL5 Headlight compatibility with other models?

Thanks for that. The diagram is super helpful.

I did just have an idea, but I'm not sure how feasible it would be though...
What would I need do do if I wanted to swap out the H4 lights for HID?

The housings look like they all go to the same mounting points, but I'm guessing the wiring is all ...

Re: KH-SGL5 Headlight compatibility with other models?

Mainly looking to replace rather than polish. I used many different brands of polish on the 2010 Mazda6 over the years... They'd always yellow up again in about 6 months every time. In the end, they looked like this:

After replacing just the ...

KH-SGL5 Headlight compatibility with other models?

G'day.
So, my brothers van is doing amazing thanks to all the help this forum has given in the past! (Repeated limp home mode was a vaccuum hose fitted to the incorrect part).

But now, my brother is concerned about his headlights, they've clouded up and are pretty awful at night.

I just replaced ...

Re: Bongo side door alignment

After having a good look at the van today, the adjustment for the door was already in the maximum height position.

My brother informed me that the van was once crashed into a ditch at about 80km/h. (No obvious panel damage, but the plastic air scoop underneath that directs air into the intercooler ...

Bongo side door alignment

My brother has finally come down the 1,000km trip to my house.
(Thanks again to everyone who helped troubleshooting his limp mode issues. Turns out one of the vacuum hoses was connected to the wrong thing / didn't go to where it was supposed to.)

OK, so, new issue. Side door alignment. The door ...

Re: Flashing Glow Plug Light & Limp Mode. (Yes, another one)

Awesome, thanks. I've passed all this onto my brother, and he's going to in his words (He's not a tech guy).. "print all this information out and see if it helps my mechanic"

(As the mechanic, not being familiar with the bongo, has only cleaned the EGR Valve at this point, but the issue remains)

Flashing Glow Plug Light & Limp Mode. (Yes, another one)

I've had a good look around, and ive read all the replies on other threads, so i've got a nice long list to check already on my brother's Bongo
(VGT Vanes Stuck, Wastegate Stuck, EGR Valve, Vaccuum Lines, Solenoids and a valve under the seats, too much Transmission fluid, etc)

But there's one ...

Re: The Mystery Switch?


Its the engine fast heating button, used in Northern Japan, it forces the exhaust gasses back around the engine to get it hot quicker by closing a valve in the exhaust. In the UK they are immediately stripped out as they are fully exposed under the vehicle and handle the hot exhaust gases hence ...

Re: The Mystery Switch?

Thanks for that. I will let my brother know, as he lives in a coastal area, so it's probably started rusting out already.

The Mystery Switch?

G'day from Australia.
My brother owns a 2001 Bongo Friendee Camper, and he's been looking everywhere for the answer to this question.

(His bongo did not come with the owners manual, and Google has been even more useless than normal. I even tried asking an AI, but it got it wildly wrong by claiming ...
