blocked tank breather is common on bongo's sometimes linked to wearing out the front seal on the fuel pump.

Which year vehicle do you have? changing the bulbs, even with battery trays in the way is usually only a 2 minute job?

think the HID was only a prbelm in Channel islands as far as i was aware? after speaking to few customers who wanted to replace them with standard units/bulbs

Julian

i thought it was 60,000 or 5 years? has any1 checked the workshop book?

checked the book, which is no use whatsoever!!

Julian

short answer: NO!

Iirc, doesnt the standard kitchen, have a button that you press to make it charge the battery inside the kitchen unit? as in its not a split charge system til the buttons pressed? and they dont use big cables just slightly thicker and with bigger cores. rip it all out n replace it all!! lol

All i can say is it LOOKS like a bongo alternator, moutings, plugs etc all look the same.

Julian

If it was mine i would too, HOWEVER as its a customers, dont think either company or customer would be prepared to do that regarding work/waarranty etc the rings DONT come up to the affected area, which looks like its been getting worse, so the question lies with that if this is an ongoing process t...

vehicle is a 1996 2.5 TD, 80,000 Miles on the clock, regularly serviced. The actual bore itself was clean, just the top byt the deck as in the pic?

As far as i know the vehicle has only been run on standard diesel. The valves on 2,3and 4 and pitted, getting worse in that order, its the cylinder of number 4 thats badly damaged. After talking to the customer on sat, it looks like its going to be a rebuild on an engine and then drop it in, i will ...
