And me now...

Now my passenger side window isn't working from either switch... a ghost playing tricks I'm sure!

You've not set the switch on the drivers side window control to disable the passenger window operation have you? Easily done and its caught many out. :roll:

Agreed. Easy done. And... it was done ...

if its revving ok press the hold button whilst driving, give it plenty of revs and see if it will clear the carbon out, this is the italian tune up.
wont do much for your mpg but it may temp clear the problem.
then get back home and put some proper fuel in it preferably one of the higher grade ...

if it keeps going i would keep going. :shock: .
just dont endanger yourself or others by going along at a dangerously slow speed, watch for the hills that could catch you out.

good luck.

Many thanks... that's given extra confidence in getting home =D> the bongo seems to maintain speed ok, but ...

wastegate failed under pressure.
disconnect the diaphragm operator/lever and see how loose the arm is where it goes into the turbo, ideally test the diaphragm by revving the engine past 2000 -2500 revs to see if it moves the diaphragm /arm then back when the revs drop, or it may work the other way ...

Here's the code descriptors

P0400 Exhaust EGR System Malfunction
P1182 Fuel Shut Off Solenoid Circuit
P1228 Wastegate Failed Open (Under pressure)

Is it safe to drive the Bongo back home? It seems to drive ok, although lacks additional turbo? Im not sure what a non-Bongo specialist can do...

Have you read out the code from the diagnostic plug? With later versions you only need to put in the link wire and the Glowplug light will flash the error code. The info is on this page http://www.philmcfadden.co.uk/MazdaDiagnosticBox.htm and all you need do is link pins C & E then read the ...

did you clean the turbo out. sometimes even when you have cleaned the egr the switch can have gone faulty.
have you removed the battery in an effort to reset /clear the codes stored.

I have disconnect the air feed/intake into the turbo... not sure of the proper name. The pipe was rather grim and ...

if you click on this link and check against your year and vin number you can identify your turbo, they change on the diesel 3 times from 1997 to 2001. if you click on the turbo number on the drawing it highlights in ...

"....to my horror I have a flashing glow plug light on my year 2000 diesel Bongo. The light flashes one second on, one second off. The light resets itself when I'm travelling on the motorway, but flashes again when I'm in traffic or at low speed. Is my scavenger fan sensor bust ?


Owing to the ...

Thanks for the guidance... here's today's update lol:

The C&E cross wire diagnostics worked a treat... although they took a while to read as I believe I have three:

P0400 - exhaust EGR system malfunction

P1228 - Wastegate failed to open (under pressure)

P1128 - Fuel shut off solenoid circuit

I ...

I'm going to look at the turbo in the morning - I will be using the fact sheets and any further gleaned info/tips ...

Does the engine have any running problems connected to the "Flashing Light" or is it running as it should.?

I don't really notice any running problems overall, however, it does struggle on hills... I think the turbo no longer works, although it feels like all gears are used, up and down the range ...

Hi, Thanks again for the continued support.

After cleaning the EGR I didn't clean the turbo (not sure how to do that) - any guidance and tips would be gratefully received. I'm ready for my next stage of mechanics :D

I followed the guidance of disconnecting the battery negative terminals and ...
