new member - couple of questions...

Post by mark maskery » Sat Jun 02, 2007 2:45 pm

HI,

just bought a bongo yesterday (montague conversion),very pleased.just a couple of questions if anyone can help.

1 - if i switch engine off in ' park ',engine runs on for about 2 minutes.if i turn ignition off in neutral then put into park,engine cuts immediately.is it ok to turn off this way ? i do not really want engine running on.previous owner said it ran on because of turbo charger ?

2 - digital air controls - green indicator is staying on to blow air despite controls being on off position,ie the mode indicator so air is continously blowing into front cab.has this happened to anyone else ? how can i rectify ?

cheers,

mark

Mark welcome

if the engine runs on with key out sounds like you have a turbo timer. this is a device to allow the oil in the turbo to cool slightly before stopping. Loads of info on the site. I turned mine (turbo timer) off and just let the engine run for 30 secs when I pull up.

mine still allows air in, I select it to come in on widow & feet.

I concur.
1.You have a turbo timer fitted.
2. Digital Climate control. To stop it doing everything hit the button on the right, marked 'off'.(I think! I can't be bothered to go downstairs and look 'cos I'm too tired-sorry!) All temperature settingings in the window should then disappear.
You can then have the fan working and direct the air but without the A/C i:e: frozen air coming in.

How do you see where you're going then? :lol:
Seriously.............. on climate control there are 2 buttons to the left of the unit with demister symbols on them. 1 square and one fan shaped. The square one is the electric rear window de-mister and the fan shaped one, switches the windscreen demist on with obligatory a/c +full fan power to clear the screen as fast as possible.

hi,

many thanks for reply.don't think i explained myself very clearly on first post.i have pressed 'off'button but symbol(person with direction of air ie feet,head,etc) remains on and air still being blown from vents.cannot turn off ! not a big problem,but will be a nuisance in winter.
