Bongo Fury

Hi,

i am going to change the atf on my diesel automatic Bongo. How much fluid do i need to buy ?

many thanks,

seem to recall i used about 5 litres

Buy 5ltrs but you will use between 4.5 /5..00ltrs on a good drain
Think members fact sheet has info on it

Depends how you are changing it: extraction via dipstick, or dropping the sump & cleaning the filter (best option). The factsheet is here & mentions the differing amounts:

If you buy 2 x 5 litre bottles, you'll have some left over to replace or top up the power steering too.

Hi,

thanks for your replies. I am taking off the sump to clean the filter, so i think i will need 7 litres ?

cheers,

Some people have discovered some variations within their gearboxes & there are known to be two different types of filter arrangements. In practice, you'll never get all the fluid out as the torque convertor holds quite a lot, so if you assumed worst case of 7, you'll probably have some spare at the end. Pretty sure I've still got most of the 2nd 5 litre bottle left over from when I did my previous Bongo, but I'd always err on the safe side & buy too much rather than too little as the shops are invariably shut when you run out of things mid-way thru a job

Good idea to blow the fluid out of the aft cooler pipes whilst your about....( the pipes that go forward towards the bottom of the radiator)

hi,

thanks for all the helpful tips. Now i've just got to find the cheapest place to buy it from !

have a good easter weekend.

regards,
