Bongo Making Loud Noise - Electric

Post by Calisoul » Sat Aug 30, 2025 4:40 pm

Hello people,

This morning I noticed the van making a horrible noise and it was completely off, I started it and it went around the block all fine but the sound kept on going, I disconnected the battery and it's stopped so I presume it's probably something electrical.

Video of the sound here:

Any help is much appreciated, I'll check the fuses to start tomorrow and it's a 1995 2.5L diesel.

Sounds like a relay or magnetically controlled device which is having problems. You need to investigate under the bonnet, the dashboard etc to find out what device is causing the problem.
