Thanks, fingers crossed! Lucky I've got skinny, long hands

Great, thanks. Looks like the leisure battery and headlights will be coming out.

Hi. My 2.5 V6 Bongo's rear water jet has stopped working. There's no audible sound from the pump when I activate it, even though the rear wiper works normally.

Front water jet and blades work normally.

I believe the rear wiper and pump share a fuse, so it can't be that.

Is there a separate pump ...

At the nozzle end or near the bottle?

Thanks Geoff

Hi. My rear water jet suddenly stopped working. The sound hasnt changed when I try to operate it, but no water is coming out. I dont think the nozel is blocked. The screen wash tank is full!

I seem to remember this happening on my previous (diesel) Bongo about 10 years ago, and it was a result of ...

So far so good. Got the old rotor off and it looks a bit damaged. Pretty straightforward.

I'll call ADS tomorrow, didn't realise they carried stock for sale.

The nice AA mechanic has confirmed that my v6 2.5l Bongo needs a new distributor rotor arm, luckily the rest of the unit appears to be ok. The job is a bit urgent and I cant find a mechanic before Christmas. He says it's pretty easy to do. Would people here agree?

Whip out 3 x 8mm bolts holding the ...

Thanks - that's reassuring.

We certainly had plenty of rain yesterday. Dry today, I'll take a drive and check things out.

Thanks Geoff. Looks like both my belts are OK. As you can tell, I'm pretty much a novice where engines are concerned but should be able to spot a knackered or missing belt.

Good news is that the battery is reading 14.4v with the engine running, so the alternator seems ok. And the aircon seems ...

A bit of research suggests the V6s have a single alternator belt plus the AC belt - is that correct?

Interesting, the layout under the passenger seat of my V6 doesn't match the other diagrams I've seen or those in YouTube videos. Do the V6s have a different belt configuration?

I can't see any belt debris though and the belt I can see looks in good nick.

Thanks for the reply, I'll check this morning.

Evening. I just had a strange experience with our Bongo.

Tried to start the engine (V6 petrol) and it wouldnt start. Sounded like a flat battery. I used a USB battery pack to get it ticking over and started driving. The engine sounded OK initially, but pretty soon everything was stuttering and I ...

Sorry - supplemental question.

The white clips engage in 2 different directions, depending which end of the trim they are on. Does that mean that when refitting the trim, the white clips need to be put in place in the trim, then the trim is pressed into the Bongo? I had assumed the other way around ...
