Bongo Fury

Yet another post lookin for help thanks for replies so far.

Latest problem

got it back from the garage today - asked them to find a coolant leak.

turns out it is the pump. I told them i'd change it myself so when i picked it up and drove home the battery light and sediment light now stay on.... any ideas why??

I've ordered a new pump and thermostat however wont arrive for a few days. It's never ending with my bongo and i drive her so carefully. boooooo!

Shot alternator I'm afraid.

Yep,agree with Munkee,just replaced mine after the same problem,new one sorted it

When you do the Stat/Pump....are you o.k. with how to bleed it ...??? (not stright forward job)

ive done a bleed before (thanks to the awesome vid on youtube *buys the makes an e-pint ha, no idea wher stat is yet however it will be a few days before parts arrive.

Follow the Bottom Hose up to the engine....you've found the Stat..

Are you sure the drive belts have been tightened properly, maybe thrown back together in a fit of pique and not checked properly, hence slipping?

had a look and they hadn't put them back on... hence batt light and sed light on. problem solved ha. waiting for parts to arrive now thanks for all the response, keeps me ticking over with the bongo otherwise by now i;d of changed motors which i dont want to do

If as you say they had'nt put them back on water pump would not be working so just according to distance home might be overheating problem now.Check water levels.

ah it was only 2 min drive away. waterpump arrived today, just waiting for new thermostat and then hopefully the coolant system is up and runnign again

Good call there from Munroman, I love a happy ending

BUT

I'd be back there with a few short sharp words at the very least.

Unexcusable behaviour.
