Bongo Fury

It's the gasket or a cracked head £1000 to £2000 will find out tomorrow not good at all

I would get a second opinion from another garage before you authorise the work.
Your symptoms are glow plugs, you have no coolant loss nor overheating - it really doesn't sound like the head gasket or head

Does the Reg No end....END ??

Hi Ben

Sorry to read about your Bongo troubles.....

I live not far from you and I use a Bongo Friendly garage nearby... I've used this particular garage for the whole 7 years I've had my Bongo

Send me a private message on here with your mobile number and I'll give you a call m8

Fingers crossed all will be ok

Great news Ben

£200 spent still not fixed
Injectors cleaned. glow plugs checked
Its not bad on start up but after a trip you stop leave it start up again and it smokey again

take it for a long run get it hot
then let it cool over night
take the glow plugs out and put card over the holes
turn the engin over and check the card
if one is wet then coolant id getting in as it cools so woul be a cracked head
