Hi all

Tried a search on this topic but didn't find any info.

Getting a slight smell of petrol on the Bongo every now and then plus the engine light comes on every now and then as well.

Any ideas please?

Many thanks

Are the aux belts correctly tensioned and have you checked for a fuel leak would be my first jobs.

Good point on the fuel leak.

How would the Aux belts effected things, sorry I'm very new to the mechanics side of things

If the alternator belts aren't at the correct tension the dash lights will do as you describe as well as the battery won't be getting its full charge current, I'd also check the oil level to make sure its not low.
