Bongo Fury

Hello cmm303
Ive got this complete now for about a month and all seems ok ........I hope .
My top tip for anyone else doing this type of service is to realise that the coolant hoses for the turbo are not part of the hose kits so might be worth ordering them seperatly as I must now do .....and bleed the system again
this will be the hoses that let me down

And to be fair you are the person that told me that I should have been paying more attention

HOw much did all that set you back? Did you do it yourself or have you found a bongo-friendly garage in the ROI???

Hello alkers
Took a bit of money being honest I'm going to say in parts over a €1000 all bought from the shop here as there was a good discount . Itf your doing the hoses get all of them remembering the two turbo pipes
I'm quite Handy working on the bongo but got a mechanic in Galway to do the work for me as bleeding scared the life out of me
He is a Honda specialist and a FAB mechanic and I can't recommend him highly enough , his name is Gerry broderick , don't have my phone with me at the minute but I'll send it on if your interested .
What impressed me the most is that he fully researched the bleeding before taking on the job , small garage behind his house , eat your dinner off the floor ........you get the idea , very through work and easy to pay I thought . In in France at the minute with no problems because of the work he did .
Where are you based yourself I'm in clare , I've seen a few bongos in clare this summer , they are getting popular it seams ?
If you need my phone no I can send it on via PM
Happy bongoing
Brian
