Bongo 2.5td non starter after trying a lot!!!!!
Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2024 6:10 pm
So we have bought a bongo 2.5 TD that's been off the road for a few years due to rust, the guy said it he moved it about from time to time, it would start but then cut out.
So far we have replaced the fuel filter, but found it was getting no fuel upto the filter and then injectors, I used a pump to pull the diesel up to the engine, fully recharged battery still no go after hours of cranking, then I bypassed the fuel tank and filter, and used a can of diesel straight to the banjo connection, after cranking over it eventually sucked the fuel in and held it, but still no start! Cracked the injectors to acknowledge fuel and it was there spraying out, still no go, tested stop solenoid has 12volt supply, so then removed solenoid and pulled out the spring and plunger and reinstalled, still no go!!!! It's like it trys to fire up but won't catch, tried everything including easy start but no go!!! Can anyone help please
