Re: 2025 Meetings
Seriously ? Have you looked at the road clearance on any of the Bongo's at best its 6" - 7" the 4WD diesel will have the best maybe 7"- 8" depending if its original suspension.

Re: V6 heating not working after garage work
The bottom hose will be the coolest part of the system! The hot coolant comes out of the engine and then splits into several routes.
One is back to the engine (smallest pipe) via the thermostat top inlet (this gets sealed if the thermostat fully opens up).
Second is via the various heating matrices ...

Re: V6 heating not working after garage work
The problem with a simple flush of the entire system is that any deposits that get washed off the inside of the hoses has a habit of blocking the very small cores in the heating matrix. If you search thru the forum most people recommend disconnecting as many pipes as possible and then flushing and ...

Re: V6 heating not working after garage work
Get back to the garage, either a coolant flow (bleeding problem) or depending on what work was done precisely the control rods that adjust the flaps in the air box in the leg areas either side are not working. Does the temperature gauge show the normal reading 11 Oclock position ?

Re: Radio not working after blowing 12v fuse
Right OK, common problems all solvable!
First older radios and even some modern ones have the TWO supplies to them, one is an unswitched supply to retain memories - however because memory types are now available which don't need power (Flash types) newer radios no longer need this supply, so don't ...

Re: Radio not working after blowing 12v fuse
If you have a leisure battery fitted then it is very likely that a number of circuits are switched across from the SB fuse panel to an added fuse panel for the LB. It is very likely that the fuse for Unswitched circuits (Radio backup, ECU backup, internal lights etc) is swapped to the LB, the Blind ...

Re: Mystery wire
That's great news, glad you managed to fix it.
It can be problematic trying to give a detailed explanation, because you never know just what has been done in the past, different people think different ways which can lead to a lot of crossed wires!!

Re: Radio not working after blowing 12v fuse
The radio has two power supplies.
The first is from the unswitched supply and is used to ensure that the memory circuits are powered to retain the settings even when switched Off, it comes from the internal fuse panel top left fuse either 10Amp (Red) or in later years 15 Amp (Blue).
The second is ...

Re: ABS pump replacement, will others fit?
Its not often that the pump has failed in the Bongo's its normally the wheel sensors/wiring back to the pump itself that causes problems.
Has the pump itself been shown to have failed, if you read the error codes then it will normally indicate which sensor(s) are a problem.
