Hi guys, just thought I’d start a new thread and not continue on costas thread.
My problems so far are initially I had a 0400/1228 which occurred after about 10 miles or so. I cleaned both egr valves and re checked all the solenoids.
The 0400/1228 codes disappeared, now I have a glow plug light that flashes immediately on on start up with a code 1227 I think this is a turbo problem so I had the turbo cleaned at the local garage, but it still flashes 1227. Has any got any ideas regarding this code and any possible remedies.
Thanks all

Re: Glow plug flashing p1227 code
Code 1227 means the turbo wastegate failed to close. This will be caused by the vanes sticking. Have a look at this generic video about possible solutions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Hvt2b7PL0

Re: Glow plug flashing p1227 code
Hi there.
I had a longstanding problems with our 2002 Diesel Bongo with the dreaded going into limp mode and glow plug light flashing once engine was warm and sat in traffic. I cleared all the old fault codes and found the two fault codes being displayed were P0400 and P1228. Spent hours researching this trawling for answers through the forums, FB groups and it's also well detailed on the Wastegate Actuator factsheet in the members section. It's obvious people have spent hours on this, but nothing seems to give a permanent guaranteed long term fix. After much head scratching I discovered Mark at The Bongo Master in Leicestershire, really good, decent, honest bloke, who knows Bongos inside and out, he has great reviews from all his customers. Mark immediately knew what the problem was. It's a known issue with later Bongos, due to combination of a change of turbo design and poorer quality grade diesel in the UK. Mark charges £600 to retrofit an older turbo from an earlier model and changes the relevant ducting and piping to go with it. The van then ran as sweet as a nut, with no loss in performance at all. Just thought I'd share, as it could save somebody alot of time, money and hassle in the future.
