Probably a completely different cooling system layout with a bleed point somewhere that doesn't exist in a Bongo system - hence the need to create one.haydn callow wrote:How do people normally bleed a Ranger engine?? must be a way to do it.

bits for Bongos) have managed to supply an adapter piece. Is this adaptor piece not just the metal bit of pipe that comes out the side of the engine block as per the standard Bongo/Ranger engine (which I'm not familiar with by the way so apologies for my ignorance).
The Ranger only has one heater - that is the biggest difference between the respective systems.dandywarhol wrote:The pipe is a Bongo part which will fit into a Ranger head. The Ranger shouldn't need to go through the same bleeding malarky as the Bongo cos it hasn't got the low down rear heater.
Been preaching for yonks that I reckon the Bongo airlock problems eminate from the rear heater box trapping the air - maybe folks will believe me now

I think it's lower compression in the Bongo, due to having a turbo fitted - at least that's the case with most dieselsmikeonb4c wrote:Aah! Beginning to understand now. I wonder how he came to have a standard Ranger engine in his and not a Bongo version.
Did I also read on here yonks ago a suggestion that the Bongo has a higher compression head, and more power in consequence, than the standard Ranger engine?
I suspect the cam profiles differ too for the auto version, you need differing torque/power peaks to suit the gearbox.mikeonb4c wrote:Aah! Beginning to understand now. I wonder how he came to have a standard Ranger engine in his and not a Bongo version.
