2.0ltr replacement starter battery

Post by Roy748 » Sun Nov 03, 2019 5:18 pm

Hi oh wise ones
Sorry if this has been asked before and I have searched the forums but I cannot find a recent post for a recommendation for a replacement starter battery for my 2.0ltr bongo. Most post appear to recommend batteries with the necessary power for the diesels engines but not the 2.0ltr patrols.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The Bosch S4 335 is fine for all types of Bongo engine.

Same battery will fit all types of Bongo. You need the following codes. The codes give the physical dimensions.

UK ref = 249, EU = 068.

The Bosch recommended by Geoff is very good, as is a Motaquip VBY44. Eurocarparts keep batteries in stock, branches nationwide.

I've had top service from Tayna Batteries.

A quick Google will find them. :wink:
