Re: Please Help Diagnose a Front-End Rattle whilst Accelerating.



Thank you. Can we eliminate any of those guesses based on the fact that it only happens at 2300-2400 PRM?
- I'm inexperienced, but it feels oddly specific to me that it only makes the noise within those parameters??

Thanks again!

Re: knocking rattle on accelerating



Is it more speed related than revs related? Does it stop or lessen if the power is taken off? does it go away on braking? Worse on cornering? Difficult one to remotely diagnose that one, maybe if you could record the sound & put it on a hosting site & post the link?


Hello - responding to an ...

Re: Please Help Diagnose a Front-End Rattle whilst Accelerating.

Thanks all.

- My normal mechanic suggested it was the coupler on the drive shaft - but said he could not guarantee it. His suggestion was to tell the buyer that "it's always been like that" - but that everything is fine... 8) but I just can't imagine myself buying a car that sounded like this ...

Re: Finding the aircon leak

Hello, I was wondering how you got on - if you found the problem?

I've been told there is a connection close to the air con tank beneath the middle seats that is often the culprit for slow leaks.

Would this be something that is easily identified/fixed?

Many Thanks.

- I've ...

Bongo Drip - In Spain!

Hello All

My Bongo has a drip, quite a rapid one, but only (I think), when I'm driving.

I've located the drip from a hole (intentional hole!) - in some kind of tank (?) - right in the middle between the front two wheels.

Photos Attached!

The coolant level looks ok, and no alarm has gone off ...
