Bongo Fury

hi again,as per my other post (thankyou for all the advice by the way!) i re-fitted a new air con belt and the air con compressor is now running (although not blowing cold air so assume it need a re-gas and service) thing is its making a funny 'whirring' noise now its as if the bearings are dry?? anyone else experienced this?is the compressor ka-put?
thanks again!

No - just a duff bearing by the sound of it. I've not had the Bongo compressor off to check but sometimes it is possible to press out the old bearing and replace. Try running a search and see if this has come up before. As a temporary fix try pouring a little engine oil onto the rear of the pulley (mind fingers) in the hope of it running into the bearing and quietening it down. I once did this as a temporary fix on a noisy compressor bearing and it lasted me for 5 years

thanks veg_ian will give that a go,sound like im driving an 'electric bongo' at mo!

Hi Veg-Ian....
I'm off outside right now to try that on our Opel Aspidestra....darned thing sounds like a couple of skeletons indulging in passion in a biscuit tin....but there again it is a Poxhall/ Opel
