Re: CRUISE CONTROL

The favourite one for Bongo's was the Waeco MS 50 Cruise Control however they haven't been available for quite sometime, I think occasionally they used to pop-up on eBay but not seen one for a while now.

Re: Instrument cluster bulbs

The part numbers are listed here https://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/code=6115A&cat=a2ajra0a&vin=&imgno=02of02.html#12 however no wattage is specified but it will be quite a low wattage possibly 1.2 Watt as its internal and you don't want a lot of heat being generated inside the rest of the unit.

Re: Gearbox Solenoids

I have the gearbox manual and normally, depends on version, you can replace either the group of solenoids or individual solenoids.
You will need to read the manual to locate section etc. but has some very helpful diagrams for the solenoids;

Re: Charge light on but battery is charging

It could be an earthing fault on the wire going to the lamp, or a fault inside the alternator, not able to give much more advice as its a rather simple circuit! +12v - to lamp - to alternator and switching to earth.

Re: Charge light on but battery is charging

The charge light is controlled directly by the alternator, it provides an earth once the alternator is running and operating see diagram below;

Hence it might be worth checking further with the alternator ...

Re: Electric window motor replacement

Ah my error, I was thinking of the door lock motors, your referring to the actual window motors! Those are normally pretty rugged but it could be the brushes or just if not more likely a jammed mechanical mechanism in the scissor jacks that lift the glass up and down see here https://lushprojects ...

Re: Help: 2.5TD Thermostat orientation

The conical section faces downwards and the flat plate at the top seals off the top inlet pipe coming direct from the engine. Spring up in your description rather than downwards, it also has a notch in the mounting plate for alignemnt.

Re: Hello and 2.0 problem.

Your aware that until the coolant has warmed up the ECU won't allow you to go into highest gear? You need to run it for 10-20 minutes before it will engage the highest gear.
The manuals are available to buy but not seen any online copies as I believe the rights owner is quite savvy at tracking down ...

Re: Quick question regarding replacement ABS sensor

Yes that is visually correct, they come in all sorts of prices, the actual sensors are common it seems so you can actually get even cheaper variations normally with a different plug that can be adapted! Be aware however it often requires the fixing bolt for the sensor to be drilled out as they get ...

Re: Low Revs and Fuel Smell

The Lambda sensor can't be ruled out totally, the manual has a lot of ticks covering many different areas of the engine. Its often the problem with intermittent faults/symptoms because as soon as you start altering anything your never totally sure if its actually affected the problem or just the ...

Re: Low Revs and Fuel Smell

Looking at the engine manual a lot of the unstable idle speed faults relate to the Idle Speed Control (ISC) system starting from the ECU on pin 2W which should be between 10volts and battery voltage.
Another possibility would be for the Throttle sensor to have an intermittent problem, either in the ...

Re: TCU

It depends on the age, early machines had separate PCM and TCM in separate boxes, later versions moved to having them on one board in a single box.
I would imagine for an 02 vehicle it would all be in a the same box up under the passenger footwell.
