Yes ! that makes sense, but surely very quickly after boiling, the engine would overheat and seize ??

I think the noise going round the roundabout in Chester may just have been a plastic bottle or something and not related to the boiling. Wouldn't have thought you could drive for an hour with a boiling system. Why wouldn't it regeister on the guage?? very odd !!

This is by far the most interesting and informative topic I have come across to date on this forum. I downloaded the coolant chapter from the NZ workshop manual site and what has been discussed and discovered all adds up. As far as I can see the stat is indeed located where the lower main hose enter...

Hi there, Mines was the same and it is common. Our Bongo was in Allans and when I pointed it out he confirmed this. Seems a silicone seal tends to weep. Just cleaned up the area and it takes ages to reappear. Can highly reccommend this garage. He knows his Bongos. Did EGR blanking as well.

YEP !! I did mine about 4 weeks ago. Dead easy and seems worthwhile.

In a Bongo just because the gauge has gone from full to a quarter does not necessarily mean you have used 3/4 of a tank. Best to refill tank to brim and use that amount as a guide to MPG. Need more info reguarding poor performance.

Allans garage services Plymouth. Easy for anyone to fix though. Allans advertise on this website. He is good and won't rip you off.

don't feel my turbo. Are you sure your not getting KICKDOWN or pressing the hold button??

Had mine done at SGS for the same reason. Tell them what you want them doing for and your rack will weigh about 8kgs. £70 ish, cheaper than new ones and very cood company to deal with.

Got my cambelt kit from Bongo Towers. Got it fitted for £30 cash in hand (know what I mean guv??)

Or even putting a new rubber tube on and making sure it covers the hole

I would have thought that if you have a pinhole in a metal pipe then it must be well rotten and you need to do more than just fix this one pinhole. How about (if practicable) finding a slightly bigger bit of tube and sliding it over the damaged one having first smeared everything with plastic metal??

Item number: 160094658960 on flebay. Anyone know what this is all about? Sounds tooooo gooood tooooo beeeee true, so I expect it is.
Not that MY BONGO gives off BLACK SMOKE.

Should never be any fuel leaks. Would also be a way in for air.
