Re: Alternator

Thanks. 8) Updates are very useful in the future as people search for answers. :wink: Update I changed the belts back to the old ones and the noise stopped 👍 so it’s not the alt or water pump. Do the belts need to broke in or are they wrong size ? They look a little thicker then the old ones. Hm.. ...

Re: Alternator

Gaza, you should be able to depress the belts by about 1/2" on the top run but it is all too easy to overtighten with the adjuster on the Bongo. maybe slacken off a bit and road test it see if the noise changes? Thanks for the reply I have tried slacking them but didn’t make any difference. Wi...

Obviously make sure no...

The T end of the pipe splits into the rear heater and into the engine and then the return pipe that runs under the passenger seat. But there’...

Take care.
Hi, the hole at the bottom of the 503690189 filter was to big for the sensor Sediment light, purchase from euro car parts.
