Mazda Bongo 2.5 TD pump seal

[Jimbob738]

Hi need some guidence

I had a leak on my diesel pump which i discovered last night i removed the problem part and it appears the seal has gone brittle im not sure what the parts called its on the side of the pump has two 10mm bolts holding it flus with the side of the pump and has two springs inside it, the seal is a black round rubber seal with flush edges. my question is anyone know where to get a replacement?

i know that on the bongo fury shop they sell a 2 seal set but is this included has anyone purchased the seals?

Thanks all help apreaciated?

yep both sides

one on side you can see and get to easy that you describe

and one opposite it near engine

thats difficult to get to

Story of owning the bongo the isnt it!

at present only one side is leaking so ill buy those then and store the other for the next one leaking what a pain!

The lucky people are the ones whose seal needs replacing is the easy one.

Replace it and see where the leak moves to next!

A cut down plastic bottle under the pump makes a good drip catcher to save your driveway and the underside of the Bongo.

My Bongo was self waxoyling for quite a while!

there maybe some tiny shims (discs that pack the spring) in there too, dont loose them if they are present, or look out for them.

Also make sure the new seals are green coloured to cope with todays biofuel shite.

yes they are and there in just cant get it started how do i prime the pump please help?

readin into this further there are several way of priming it but which is the best way without a priming tool to hand i cant believe there is no pump on the filter its crazy?

I employ gravity by removing the filter side of the fuel line and connecting a home made funnel & rubber hose attachment. Then I add diesel fuel into the funnel until it stops flowing without bubbles. Then I start the motor running only long enough to run smooth while adding enough fuel to the funnel to purge air out of the system. I have only needed to do this when draining the pump. When I once ran out of fuel; I managed to restart the vehicle bone dry within 30 seconds!!!

[Jimbob738]

Sorted got a priming tool still leaking though god sake must be from behind the pump Noooooooo!

[dandywarhol]

Didn't need to prime it - just cranked it over on full throttle and it purged in no time

[Jimbob738]

i did that for like 5 mins no joy quick prime was all good anyway tightened the 10mm screws bit tighter until leak stopped i got a happy bongo again no smelly diesel, and a new K&N its never been smoother loving it.

something odd happended when i drove to sainsburys when i fueled up the hazards came on for two seconds didnt flash now the indicators dont blink just on solid any ideas where the relays are?

[Northern Bongolow]

has it got a fancy alarm fitted, or is it standard, whisper the answer so the badies dont hear

[Jimbob738]

No fancy alarm just standard Sssssssssshhhhhh the germans are coming.
