Stuck in gear, fans on, no glow plug light.

Post by Gavinstjohn » Tue May 21, 2024 4:46 pm

Hi all, my 1995 2.5 td Bongo is sparadically working. Sometimes I get in and it fires up fine, drives perfectly, other times I jump in, the coolant fan automatically comes on, the glow plug light doesn't illuminate and the gearbox is stuck in 3rd. I have done everything I can think of. Has anyone experienced this and managed to fix it?
Thanks Gav.

Welcome aboard.

Not a set of symptoms I'm familiar with, but we may be able to suggest a Bongo Friendly garage near you.
